Mbalabala is a village in Matabeleland South province, Zimbabwe, on the main Beitbridge to Bulawayo road at its junction with the Filabusi road, about 66 kilometres south-east of Bulawayo in Umzingwane district. It was originally known as Balla Balla. The name comes from the Ndebele word for the greater kudu, ibhalabhala, and the Zimbabwean government changed the spelling to its present form in 1982 to match local orthography. The village has a station on the Beitbridge to Bulawayo railway and is the railhead for the surrounding mining area.
