Nzérékoré (N’ko: , Adlam: ; also spelled '''N'Zérékoré') is the third largest city in Guinea by population after the capital, Conakry and Kankan, and the largest city in the Guinée forestière region of southeastern Guinea. The city is the capital of Nzérékoré Prefecture. Nzérékoré is a commercial and economic center and lies approximately southeast of Conakry.
It was the centre of an uprising against French rule in 1911 and is now known as a market town and for its silversmithing. The population number lied between ~110,000 and ~290,000 in 1996 based on the Census, and is growing significantly since the start of civil wars in the neighboring Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Ivory Coast sparking inward migration, with the current population number lying between ~230,000 and ~400,000.
