Dinguiraye (N’ko: ߘߌ߲ߞߌߙߊߦߌ߫ ) is a small town in northern Guinea, known for its large mosque which until recently was thatched.

[1] The town and its mosque hold special historical importance; El Hadj Umar Tall founded the Toucouleur Empire in the city and initially made it his capital.

Al-Hadj Umar also built the city's large mosque at this time and the city served as a staging ground for his 1850 jihad.
