The Limpopo branch of the African National Congress (ANC) is one of nine provincial branches of South Africa's governing political party. It is the vehicle through which the ANC contests seats in the Limpopo Provincial Legislature during general elections and it also directs and oversees the activities of local party branches in the province. Since 2014, it has been led by Provincial Chairperson Stanley Mathabatha, who is the Premier of Limpopo.

The Limpopo branch is led by a 35-member Provincial Executive Committee, which is headed by the Provincial Chairperson and the other so-called Top Five officials. The Provincial Executive Committee is elected for a four-year term by representatives of the five regional branches which comprise the provincial party. The regional branches correspond to the five district municipalities of Limpopo and each is divided into several local (subregional) branches, which in turn generally correspond to the local municipalities within each district.

Blah blah provincial legislature. It is also influential inside the national party. At the party's most recent national conference in December 2022, it accounted for 613 of however many voting provincial delegates, the third-most of any provincial branch; it was beaten only by the KwaZulu-Natal ANC, with 877 delegates, and the Eastern Cape ANC, with 684 delegates.[1] However, in terms of absolute membership across the province, it is larger than the Eastern Cape branch and is the second-largest in the country.[2] It is home to the ANC's second-largest regional branch, which is based in Vhembe District Municipality.[2]
