{{Location map|Zambia|lat=-9.7333333|long=28.7833333|width=220|caption=Location of Mbereshi}}Mbereshi (also spelled and pronounced Mbeleshi) is a village in the Luapula Province of Zambia, named after the Mbereshi River on its north side. It is the site of a large mission founded in 1900 by the London Missionary Society. In 1915 the mission established the first girls' school in the territory, as well as a boys' school and a large hospital. The Girls school and Hospital are now Grant Aided institutions run by The United Church of Zambia. Mbereshi contains a number of examples of mission buildings, including a large church which is now part of the United Church of Zambia.[1]

Mbereshi lies on the main tarred highway of the Luapula River valley running from Mansa to Nchelenge and is {{convert|10|km}} north-east of Mwata Kazembe's town of Mwansabombwe.
