Narena is a small town and commune in the Cercle of Kangaba in the Koulikoro Region of south-western Mali. As of 1998 the commune had a population of 8,275.
Replacing a town called Menimbougou, Narena was founded in the 18th century by Bambara mercenaries who had previously defended the Sendugu region, a northern march of the Kangaba state. It was a center of gold production and iron-working.
