One of the western regions of UgandaAnkole sub-region is a region in the Western Region of Uganda that consists of the following districts:
- Buhweju District
- Bushenyi District
- Ibanda District
- Isingiro District
- Kazo District
- Kiruhura District
- Mbarara District
- Mbarara City
- Mitooma District
- Ntungamo District
- Rwampara District
- Rubirizi District
- Sheema District
The area covered by the above districts constituted the traditional Ankole Kingdom. Milton Obote abolished the traditional kingdoms in Uganda in 1967. When Yoweri Museveni re-established them in 1993, Ankole did not re-constitute itself.
The sub-region is home mainly to the Ankole ethnic group. The people of Ankole are called Banyankole (singular: Munyankole). The Banyankole speak Runyankole, a Bantu language. Runyankole is very similar to Rukiga, spoken by the people of the neighboring Kigezi sub-region. According to the 2014 national census, the Ankole sub-region was home to an estimated 2.56 million people at that time.
