Mpongwe is a settlement in Zambia's Copperbelt Province, recorded by GeoNames as a populated place and counted as an urban area in the national census. GeoNames places it at about 13.509 degrees south and 28.155 degrees east. The census of 18 August 2022 counted 25,388 people there, compared with 14,979 at the census of 16 October 2010. City Population compiled that 2022 figure from ward figures of the Central Statistical Office of Zambia. The census table gives the name as Mpongwe with Mpelembe in brackets. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model gives about 1195 metres above sea level at its coordinates, which is highland terrain, and because Zambia has no coastline the settlement lies inland.
