The Batè Empire (N’ko: ߓߊߕߍ߫ Bátɛ) was a pre-colonial state centred on Kankan in what is today Guinea. It was founded in the 16th century by migrants from the Sahel, Mandinka and Soninke people, as an Islamic merchant state.

In the 1870s, the Batè increasingly suffered from conflict and raids in their territory. They sought protection from Samori Ture and agreed to merge with his Wassoulou Empire. The Batè remained within the Wassoulou Empire until Tur
