The '''Lado Enclave''' ({{langx|fr|Enclave de Lado}}; {{langx|nl|Lado-Enclave}}) was a leased territory administered by the [[Congo Free State]] and later by the [[Belgian Congo]] that existed from 1894 until 1910. Situated on the west bank of the Upper [[Nile]] in what is now [[South Sudan]] and northwest [[Uganda]], it was neither an [[Enclave and exclave|enclave]] nor exclave in the strict geographic sense. Its capital was the town of [[Lado, South Sudan|Lado]].
