Belgian apologies to the Congo are the subject of a societal debate in Belgium over the expression of apologies of the role that country has played in the atrocities that have been committed in the Congo Free State (or the Independent State of Congo) and the Belgian Congo between 1885 and 1960, as well as the colony of Ruanda-Urundi (1924–1962).
