Thimlich Ohinga – stanowisko archeologiczne w zachodniej Kenii, w 2018 roku wpisane na listę światowego dziedzictwa UNESCO.
Zachowały się tu pozostałości XVI-wiecznej osady zbudowanej techniką kamienia bez zaprawy, typową w tej części świata dla pasterskich społeczności kotliny Jeziora Wiktorii. Osada służyła głównie jako schronienie dla ludzi i zwierząt i jest jedną z najlepiej zachowanych w regionie.

Thimlich Ohinga Cultural Lanscape is situated in Migori County in Kenya. It is a dry stone walling enclosure that reaches four metres high in some sections and two metres wide covering fifty two acres of land, with smaller inner enclosures that were probably cattle kraals. The walls are over 500 years old and the architectural technique used in its construction of using dry stones meticulously arranged without use of mortare is still a mystery. At Thimlich Ohinga three massive enclosures are interlinked. That is Kochieng, Kakuku and Koluoch enclosures. The monument was gazetted as a national monument in 1981.
