Lubango [ˌlubañgu], bis 1975 Sá da Bandeira, ist eine Stadt im Südwesten Angolas und die Hauptstadt der Provinz Huíla. Die Stadt liegt etwa 750 km südlich von Luanda auf einer Hochebene (Huíla-Plateau). Beim Zensus 2014 zählte Lubango 776.249 Einwohner, bei der Schätzung 2019 waren es 903.564. Es ist die zweitgrößte Stadt des Landes. Die nächstgelegene Stadt ist Moçâmedes in etwa 150 Kilometer Entfernung, an der Küste des Atlantischen Ozeans gelegen. Die Bevölkerung der Stadt gehört überwiegend dem ethnischen Konglomerat der Nyaneka-Khumbi an, die in der Provinz Huíla vorherrschen. Stark angewachsen ist auch der Anteil der Ovimbundu, die aufgrund des Bürgerkriegs hierher geflohen sind. Die Ovambo stellen eine Minderheit dar. Die zur Kolonialzeit zahlreiche Gruppe der Angolaportugiesen ist nach der Unabhängigkeit auf wenige Hundert zusammengeschmolzen.
