Bandiagara (French pronunciation: [bɑ̃djaɡaʁa]) is a small town and urban commune in the Mopti Region of Mali.

Mainly on its Bandiagara Escarpment it has about 2,000 speakers of the vibrant Bangime language,[2] an isolate used mainly as an anti-language; it has the highest point of the country.

A seasonal river, the Yamé, flows in a northeasterly direction through the town.

It is the birthplace of Malian authors Amadou Hampâté Bâ, Madina Ly-Tall and Yambo Ouologuem.

In the music video for the song Reset by Three Trapped Tigers it is shown as the location of an alien rune.
