Moké (1950 – 2001; or Moke, né Monsengwo Kejwamfi), was a Congolese painter.

He was born in Ibe, Bandundu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1950. He died on September 26, 2001, in Kinshasa, a city from which he drew inspiration. Together with Chéri Samba, Chéri Chérin and other painters of the Kinshasa school like Cheik Ledy, Tshibumba Kanda-Matulu and Sim Simaro, Moké was one of the foremost depicters of Congolese popular life. He is considered a naivist, while he described himself as a "painter-journalist".
