Inkosi, otherwise appearing as Nkosi, is the Zulu and Xhosa for chieftain in Southern Africa.

An inkosi that has authority over several subordinate inkosis is traditionally referred to as an Inkosi Enkhulu (lit. "Great Chieftain"). This version of the title is typically translated as king in English.
