Die Mende-Schrift oder Kikakui ist eine Silbenschrift, mit der das westafrikanische Volk der Mende seine zur Mandingo-Gruppe gehörende Sprache aufzeichnete. Sie wurde von dem Schneider Kìsmi Kamára innerhalb von dreieinhalb Monaten entwickelt, wobei nicht klar ist, ob er dabei von der Vai-Schrift oder der arabischen Schrift beeinflusst wurde.
