Kingdom of Sanwi is a traditional kingdom located in the south-east corner of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire in west Africa. It was established in about 1740 by Agni migrants from Ghana.

In 1959 the traditional kingdom was abolished but shortly afterwards declared its independence and in 1960 a "government in exile" was established in the neighbouring Republic of Ghana. Further declarations of independence were made in 1969 with the royal family and entourage returning in the 1980s only to be exiled again between 2002 and 2005. Since 2005 the king of Sanwi has resided in Côte d'Ivoire.
