St. Charles Lwanga and companions are a group of young men and teenage boys who died for the faith in what was then Buganda, between 1885 and 1887. But the first Christian martyr in these years was an Anglican bishop, and besides the 22 who are canonized Catholic saints, there are 23 known Protestant martyrs of Uganda who also suffered in this persecution.

This category is dedicated to the Catholic martyrs of Uganda. The related category for the Ugandan martyrs includes information on the Protestant martyrs as well.
