The Dande or Dange is a river in Angola.

It rises in the município Quitexe, a former founded by Italian Capuchins 1947/48 mission station in the province of Uige, where he is known as Dange. The river separates the northern provinces of Uige and Cuanza Norte and these in turn by the Province of Bengo.

In its course the Dande feeds the dam of Mabubas. The plant is located about 6 km northeast of the provincial capital Caxito and was built in 1960 by the Portuguese to power the cities and industries in Bengo Valley and sabotaged in the Angolan Civil War of South Africans in the 1980s and is still not back in operation. In its further course it flows through the city Caxito, in município Dande. In its final section, the river water is mainly used for irrigation and use of agricultural equipment, who settled on the banks.

It flows into the Atlantic Ocean, near the town of Barra do Dande.
