Wakenda is an unincorporated community in Carroll County, Missouri. It is located on Missouri Supplemental Route B about eight miles southeast of Carrollton. The community was founded in 1869 and is named after the Siouan name for God or the Great Spirit.

The community was destroyed in the summer of 1993 during the Great Missouri River Flood. A simple stone marker alongside Route B is all that remains to mark the village's former location.
