Banjul er hovedstad i den vestafrikanske stat Gambia. Indbyggertallet for selve byen er kun 34.828, men inklusiv forstæder bor der 523.589 (2003 folketælling). Byen ligger på St Mary's Island (eller Banjul Island) hvor Gambiafloden løber ud i Atlanterhavet. Banjul er grundlagt af Storbritannien i 1816, som en handelsby. Byen hed dengang Bathurst efter Henry Bathurst, men blev ændret til Banjul i 1973.
Historie
Briterne grundlagde byen i 1816 som en handelsstation og et udgangspunkt for at nedkæmpe slavehandelen. De gav byen navnet Bathurst efter Henry Bathurst, som var britisk minister for kolonerne. Navnet blev ændret til Banjul i 1973.

The coat of arms Banjul represent the heraldic board of the English form divided across on 3 unequal parts of white, red and black colours. Above on a white background there is a plotting of two half moons and one cross between them. These signs act as symbols of two most widespread religions in Gambia - Islam and Christianity. More low on a red background two guns (a symbol of protection of territory) are represented. And at the very bottom on the black background which has been cut by white strips, symbolising waves, there is a stylised plotting of fish.
