Zinga is a town on the Oubangui River in the Central African Republic. The town stretches roughly 1 km long and 300 m wide. It is known for its wooden buildings and as a ferry port, from which boats sail to Bangui and Brazzaville.

The town's French colonial history is exemplified by the remnants of a 6 km long railway that was built in the 1920s, connecting Zinga and Mongo.[1] It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on April 11, 2006 in the Cultural category.[1]
