This is a list of renamed places in Mozambique. During the Portuguese colonial period, several places had their African names changes to honor Portuguese people or places. Other settlements were simply founded by the Portuguese and named as such. After Mozambican independence in 1975, a number of cities, towns, streets, and other places were renamed, replacing Portuguese names with African names. The country itself was renamed Mozambique upon independence, having previously been called Portuguese Mozambique or Portuguese East Africa.
