Obálendé, a contraction of the Yoruba saying Ibi ti Oba le wa de, meaning "Where the king chased us to",[1] is a neighbourhood of Lagos, Nigeria, located in Eti-Osa LGA, close to Lagos Island.

Eti-Osa was split by the Lagos State Government into Local Community Development Areas (LCDA) of which Ikoyi–Obalende is one.

The Royal West African Frontier Force (RWAFF) made up of predominantly Hausa men were initially camped on the land where King's College, Lagos is situated.

Then, a need arose for the use of the land and the Oba of Lagos pressured the Governor of Lagos to resettle the RWAFF men, and sold virgin land in what is now Obalende to the British Colonial Government.

After resettlement in the purchased land, the RWAFF men named the place Ibi ti Ọba lé wà dé, which translated from Yoruba means "the place where the king drove us to".
