Paul Panda Farnana M'Fumu (1888 – 12 May 1930) was a Congolese agronomist and expatriate who lived in Europe in the first decades of the 1900s.

[2] A Belgian official, Lieutenant Jules Derscheid, offered to bring Farnana to Belgium to receive an education.

[3] In 1904, he passed an entrance exam and was enrolled in a horticultural and agricultural school in Vilvoorde, graduating three years later with distinction.

On 23 August 1914, he was taken prisoner in Liège, together with Joseph Adipanga and Albert Kudjabo, and deported to Germany where he spent the remainder of the war.

[8] He actively criticized Belgian colonial practices, arguing that the ban on forced labour in the Congo was not being consistently applied and education for the native population was inadequate.

[8] Farnana's work was largely forgotten by the public until Congolese historians began uncovering details about his life in the 1970s and 1980s.
