コンソ (Konso) は、エチオピアの南部諸民族州内の地域名であると同時に、そこで暮らすエスニック・グループの名称でもある。コンソ地域は標高800 mから1800 mほどの山岳地帯にあり、そこで暮らす人々は資源の限られた自然環境の中で外敵の脅威などに備えつつ、最大限の農業生産性を上げようとして、さまざまな工夫を凝らして独特の文化様式を育んできた。その結果生まれた文化的景観は、2011年にUNESCOの世界遺産リストに登録された。なお、世界遺産登録時の評価対象には含まれなかったが、この地域のコンソ遺跡群からは175万年前の世界最古級の握斧などが出土しており、古人類学への貢献という面でも重要な地域である。
