An Salog Kongo (Kongo: Nzâdi Kôngo; Pranses: Fleuve Congo; Portugues: rio Congo), dating inaapod na Salog Zaire sa irarom kan mga Mobutu, an panduwang pinakahalabang salog sa Africa, mas halipot ini sa Salog Nile, panduwa man ini sa pinakadakulang salog sa kinaban base sa tubig na iniluluwas kaini, sunod ini sa Salog Amazon. Iyo man ini an pinakahararom na sa salog, igwa nin sukol na rarom na 220 m (720 ft).
An Congo-Lualaba-Salog Chambeshi igwa nin 4,700 km (2,920 mi), kaya inapod ini na pang-siyam sa pinakahalabang salog sa kinaban. An  Chambeshi sarong tributaryo kan Salog Lualaba,  asin an  Lualaba an ngaran kan Salog Congo pataas sa Busay nin Boyoma, na naglalaba nin 1,800 km (1,120 mi).

An sukol puon sa Lualaba, an primerang tributaryo, an Salog Congo igwa nin sukol na 4,370 km (2,715 mi).Ini an sulong salog na nag-aagi sa ekwador nin duwang ulit.Forbath, Peter. The River Congo (1979), p. 6. "Not until it crosses the equator will it at last turn away from this misleading course and, describing a remarkable counter-clockwise arc first to the west and then to the southwest, flow back across the equator and on down to the Atlantic.In this the Congo is exceptional. No other major river in the world crosses the equator even once, let alone twice." An Congo Basin igwa nin lugar na 4,000,000 km2 (1,500,000 sq mi), o 13% kan buong kadagaan kan Afrika.

An ngaran na Salog Congo/Kongo nagpuon sa Kahadean kan Kongo na dating yaun sa parteng sur kan salog. An kahadean inapod na nin mga Tawo kan Bantu Kongo, o inaapod na "Esikongo". Si Abraham Ortelius sa saiyang mapang pangkinaban kan 1564, pinangaranan ining "Manicongo" an syudad sa nguso kan salog.Manikongo was properly the title of the kings of Kongo; their capital was at the site of modern M'banza-Kongo, capital of Angola's northwestern Probinsiya nin Zaire. Orteilus had no knowledge of the orograpiya of Africa and drew fictitious courses for its rivers; his Congo upstream of its estuary turns sharply south, flowing through what would correspond to Angola and Botswana.
