Senegambia and Niger (French: Sénégambie et Niger ) was a colony within French West Africa that existed from 1902 to 1904. It emerged from the colonies of Mitteliger (French: Moyen-Niger) and Upper Senegal (French: Haut-Sénégal). In 1904 the colony in Upper Senegal and Niger was reorganized.

Although the colony only existed for a short time, the French government issued stamps with the inscription "Sénégambie / et Niger".
