Federația Rhodesia și Nyasaland (numită neoficial și Federația Centralafricană) a fost un stat semi-independent situat în sudul Africii, care a existat între 1 august1953 și 31 decembrie1963. Statul federativ a luat naștere din fosta colonie britanică Rhodesia de Sud și din protectorateleRhodesia de Nord și Nyasaland. Țara avea o suprafață de 1.262.986 km2, țelul britanicilor fiind un compromis, acela de a constitui un stat al negrilor, însă la conducere rămânând albii. În cele din urmă federația a eșuat, din cauza conflictelor naționale dintre populația neagră și cea albă. Astfel la data de 31 decembrie 1963 federația s-a dezmembrat, luând naștere alte două state: Zambia și Nyasaland (actualmente Malawi), cele două tinere state revendicând independența față de Regatul Unit, iar teritoriul rămas din fosta federație a fost redenumit Rhodesia de Sud (Zimbabwe, din 1980).
