'''Doumanaba''' is a small town and [[Communes of Mali|rural commune]] in the [[Sikasso Cercle|Cercle of Sikasso]] in the [[Sikasso Region]] of southern [[Mali]]. The commune covers an area of 288 square kilometers and includes the town and seven villages.<ref>{{citation |title=Communes de la Région de Sikasso |publisher=Ministère de l’administration territoriale et des collectivités locales, République du Mali |url=http://www.matcl.gov.ml/pdf/ComRegSikasso.pdf |language=French |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203005558/http://www.matcl.gov.ml/pdf/ComRegSikasso.pdf |archive-date=2013-12-03 }}.</ref> In the 2009 census it had a population of 15,105.<ref name=pop2009/> The town of Doumanaba, the ''[[chef-lieu]]'' of the commune, is 49 km northwest of [[Sikasso]].

The French explorer [[René Caillié]] stopped at Doumanaba in February 1828 on his journey to [[Timbuktu]]. He was travelling with a caravan transporting [[kola nut]]s to [[Djenné]]. In his book ''Travels through Central Africa to Timbuctoo'' published in 1830, he refers to what was then a village as Toumané.{{sfn|Viguier|2008|p=48}} Caillié was impressed with the range of goods on sale in the market and wrote:
<blockquote>I went to see the market, which I found better than those of the villages through which I had previously passed. It was held under a sort of penthouse, which kept off the rain in bad weather. It was very well supplied with all the productions of the country. I even saw butcher's meant and European commodities, such as cloth, muskets, powder and glass trinkets.{{sfn|Caillié|1830|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=gPMTAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA410 410]}}</blockquote>
