'''Kalabougou''' is a [[Bambara people|Bambara]] village on the left bank of the [[Niger River]] in the [[Ségou Region]] of [[Mali]].

Kalabougou is located across the Niger River from [[Ségou]], and dates back to the [[Bamana Empire]] which ruled in the area from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. The village is known for its craftsmanship, particularly pottery of which the women of the village are traditionally employed in. The potters of Kalabougou are major suppliers of pottery for sale in [[Bamako]], approximately 150 miles (241 km) away, as well as to nearby Ségou.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.janetgoldner.com/words/kalabougou/ |title=The Women of Kalabougou |last=Goldner |first=Janet |author-link=Janet Goldner|website=www.janetgoldner.com |language=en-US |access-date=2020-01-28}}</ref> <ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.dionisiocimarelli.com/_files/ugd/536f2d_7b9061b0f69c44578bf720f206e2c769.pdf |title=Alle Origini dell'Arte |last=Cimarelli |first=Dionisio |author-link=Dionisio Cimarelli|website=www.dionisiocimarelli.com |date=1992-10-01|language=IT|access-date=2024-12-04}}</ref>

The rest of the village is divided in trade between blacksmiths, known as ''numu'', fishermen, (known as ''Somono'') and the farmers.
