thumb|left|Boat ride at Amatigulu Nature Reserve aMatikulu is a settlement in Uthungulu District Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa.
The town is some 130 km north-east of Durban, near Gingindlovu, named after the Matigulu (also spelt Amatikulu) River. The name is derived from the Lala or Zulu phrase meaning "large water" (i.e. "large river") or "large spit", the latter possibly being an anecdotal reference to the periodic flooding of the river.
