'''Seke-Banza''' is a community in [[Kongo Central]] province of the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]].  It is the seat of the [[Seke-Banza Territory|Seke-Banza]] [[Territories of the Democratic Republic of the Congo|territory]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Institut National de la Statistique–RD Congo |title=Annuaire statistique 2015 |trans-title=2015 Statistical Yearbook |date=March 2017 |url=https://ins-rdc.org/sites/default/files/Annuaire%20statistique%202015%20Web.pdf#page=36 |access-date=2 Jan 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221013210216/https://ins-rdc.org/sites/default/files/Annuaire%20statistique%202015%20Web.pdf#page=36 |archive-date=13 October 2022 |url-status=live |page=8 Tableau 1.3 |language=fr}}</ref>
As of 2012 the town's population was estimated to be 6,286.<ref name=Gazeteer/>
In June 2007 it was reported that the {{convert|22|km}} road running north from [[Kinzao]] to Seke-Banza was in an advanced state of deterioration following torrential rains. The authorities were planning to raise money to fill the potholes through tolls.<ref>{{cite web

As of November 2008 the road had still not been repaired. As a result, trucks and motorcycles could no longer transport food from the town, and the prices paid for produce such as cassava, peanuts and tarot had dropped by as much as one half.<ref>{{cite web
