Tibati Madvolomafisha Nkambule (d. 1895), was the Queen Regent and Indlovukati of Swaziland from 1889 until 1894 during the minority of her grandson king Ngwane V.

She was married to Mswati II (d. 1868), and the queen mother of her son King Mbandzeni (Dlamini IV) in 1875-1889.

Tibati has been called "strong, traditionalist and well respected among her peers".[3] She led the country during the tumultuous period before the kingdom was placed under the administration of the South African Republic in 1894.
