Oscar Salathiel Kambona (13 August 1928 – 3 June 1997^[1][2]) was the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tanganyika from 1963 to 1966.

The son of the Reverend David Kambona and Miriam Kambona, Kambona's father was among the first African priests to be ordained into the Anglican Church of Tanganyika. He received his elementary school education at home taught by his parents and uncle, all of whom were teachers. Kambona was then sent to St. Barnabas Middle School in Liuli, Southern Tanganyika, near his home. He subsequently attended Alliance Secondary School in Dodoma, Central Tanganyika.
