Nyambe is a masculine given name and surname of African origin, particularly among Bantu-speaking peoples. The name Nyambe means "Supreme Being" and is especially common among the Lozi people of Southern Africa.

In traditional African religions, Nyambe is regarded as the Supreme Being, the Creator of the world, and the source of all life. He is often described as all-powerful, all-knowing, and above all things. While different African cultures use various names for the Creator, Nyambe is widely honoured as the one true God, who watches over creation like a loving father.
