Oreochromis saka is a species of cichlid fish that is endemic to Lake Malawi and Lake Malombe in East Africa where it inhabits relatively shallow coastal areas.

[1][2] It can reach a standard length of 36 cm (14 in).

[1] It is part of the subgenus Nyasalapia, which are known as chambo.

The validity of this species is questionable and a taxonomic review recommended that it should be considered a synonym of O. karongae (the two only differ by pharyngeal bones and teeth).
