Mibambwe IV Rutarindwa (?? – December 1896, Marangara province, Nyanza, German East Africa) was Mwami of Rwanda between September 1895 and December 1896, having been made co-ruler by his father Kigeli IV Rwabugiri in 1889. Rutarindwa is sometimes transcribed Rutalindwa.

Mibambwe and a faction loyal to him were in conflict with his surrogate mother Kanjogera and her own faction, as they wished to depose him and to replace him with the future king Yuhi V Musinga. Following a coup d'état, Mibambwe committed suicide.
