The Senate (French: Sénat) is the upper house of the Parliament of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

This task came to fruition with the adoption of the draft in Parliament in May 2005, and its approval by the Congolese people, in a successful democratic referendum on 18 and 19 December 2005.

The current president of the Senate is Modeste Bahati Lukwebo, elected in 5 March 2021.
