Pool (Kongo: Mpumbu, Nsundi, Mbula Ntangucite-ref-2[2]cite-ref-3[3]) is a department of the Republic of the Congo in the southeastern part of the country. It borders the departments of Bouenza, Lékoumou, and Plateaux. Internationally, it borders the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It also surrounds the commune district of the national capital, Brazzaville.

The regional capital is Kinkala. Principal towns include Boko, Kindamba and Mindouli. In the early 2000s, the Pool region was the home of a low-level insurgency led by Pasteur Ntumi. The inhabitants of this department are the Kongo, the Téké and the Native population (Pygmies).cite-ref-4[4]cite-ref-5[5]

The region is named after the Pool Malebo (formerly Stanley Pool), a particularly wide stretch of the Congo River.
