Ziedougou

Ziedougou (also spelled Ziédougou) is a place name referring to at least two distinct settlements in West Africa.

Ziedougou, Burkina Faso — A town in the Soubakaniédougou Department of Comoé Province in south-western Burkina Faso, within the Cascades Region. Its population has grown from 1,116 (1985 census) to 1,745 (2006 census) and to 2,144 (2019 census). It is located at coordinates 10°24′46″N 5°02′20″W.

Ziédougou, Ivory Coast — A village in the Savanes District of northern Ivory Coast, with an estimated population of approximately 1,280 residents. It is located near the localities of Sisseplé and Niempurgué, at coordinates 9.25°N 6.49°W.

Both settlements are small rural communities located in the interior of West Africa. The name "Ziedougou" follows a common Mande-language toponymic pattern, where the suffix -dougou (or -dugu) typically means "village," "town," or "land" in languages such as Dioula and Bambara.
