The atabaque (UK: /ˌætəˈbæki/ AT-ə-BAK-ee, US: /ˌɑːtəˈbɑːki/ AH-tə-BAH-kee, Brazilian Portuguese: [ataˈbaki]) is a tall, wooden, Afro-Brazilian hand drum, similar to conga.

A system of ropes are intertwined around the body, connecting a metal ring near the base to the head.

Wooden wedges are jammed between this ring and the body and a hammer is used to tighten or loosen the ropes, raising or lowering the pitch of the drum.

In Africa, cord-and-peg tension atabaques had a distribution area roughly congruent with the iron double bell (Agogo).

Beyond West Africa, cord-and-peg tension drums appeared in Bahia, Suriname, St. Domingue, Cuba, and the southern states of America.
