Anamulenge is a former Catholic mission station in the Omusati Region in the north of Namibia in the Ombalantu tribal area. It is the centre of the Anamulenge Constituency.

Anamulenge was founded in 1927, only four kilometres from the Nakayale mission station, which the Finnish Missionary Society had founded two years earlier, in 1925.[1][2]
