Tangeni Lungameni (born 17 April 1992) is a Namibian international cricketer who made his debut for the Namibian national team in January 2016. He is a left-arm pace bowler.

Lungameni is from Gobabis, but moved to Windhoek to attend Windhoek Technical School.[1] He spent two seasons as a member of the Namibia under-19s team, including at the 2011 Under-19 World Cup Qualifier, and made his debut for Namibia A in July 2015, against Botswana.[2] Lungameni made his senior debut for Namibia in January 2016, in a Sunfoil 3-Day Cup match against Gauteng (a South African provincial team).[3] Later in the 2015–16 season, he also made appearances in the Provincial 50-Over Challenge and the Provincial T20 Challenge.[4][5] Lungameni's international debut came in April 2016, when he played in an ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Afghanistan.[6] Outside of playing cricket, he works as Cricket Namibia's head groundsman, having replaced Wynand Louw in the position.[1] Lungameni is one of the few black players to play at a high level in Namibia.[7]

In August 2018, he was named in Namibia's squad for the 2018 Africa T20 Cup.[8]
