In Angolan mythology, Kianda (or Dandalunda) is a goddess of the sea, of the waters, and a protector of fishermen. She was traditionally worshiped by throwing offerings such as food and clothing into the sea. A similar African goddess is Yemoja from Yoruba mythology. Every year the Kianda Festival is held to worship her in Luanda, Angola, a week before the festival of the patron saint of the Ilha and Ibendoa (Bengo province) in July. The mosasaur Prognathodon kianda, found in Angola, was named after this deity.

O culto à Quianda é especialmente importante aos pescadores e marinheiros, por sua relação com Iemanjá; a festa da Quianda é realizada em Luanda uma semana antes da Procissão de Nossa Senhora do Cabo, que tem forte relação sincrética. Uma mesma festa é realizada na Lagoa da Ibendoa (província de Bengo) em julho. O nome quianda também é o epíteto específico do mosassauro Prognathodon kianda de Angola. (pt)
