Yengema is a town in Kono District in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone, lying approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Koidu Town (the largest city in Kono District), and about 142 miles (229 km) east of Freetown.

The town is home to Yengema Airport, the main airfield serving Kono District.

During the Sierra Leone civil war, Yengema was heavily damaged and constantly fought over due to the rich diamond reserves in the area.

Like the rest of Sierra Leone, football is the most popular sport in the town of Yengema.

The town does not have a major football club; however, the Diamond Stars of Kono represent Yengema and the rest of the Kono District in the Sierra Leone National Premier League, the top football league in the country.
