Kimera Walusimbi was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda between 1374 and 1404. He was the third king of Buganda.


Kimera was the only son of Prince Kalemeera, the son of Kabaka Chwa I Nabakka. His mother was Lady Wannyana, the supposed chief wife of King Winyi I of Bunyoro.

Kabaka Kimera was killed in a hunting accident around 1404. He was clubbed on the head by his grandson Kabaka Ttembo Kiridde, who succeeded him. Some accounts narrate the event as a deliberate act, but the most convincing accounts say it was an accident. He was initially buried at the site of his death. In 1869, his remains were exhumed and re-buried at Lunnyo, near the city of Entebbe, close to where the present Uganda State House is located. Other credible accounts give his burial place as Bumera Busiro.
