Goundo is a nearly extinct Adamawa language of Chad. It is one of the three members of the Kim languages group, together with Kim and Besme.

The language is only spoken by older adults as many young people shifted to Kabalai and Nancere.

Ethnologue (22nd ed.) lists Goundo villages as Goundo-Bengli, Goundo-Nangom, and Goundo-Yila in Kélo and Lai subprefectures, Tandjilé Region.
