Isaak Stanislaus Gorerazvo Mudenge (born December 17 1941) is a Zimbabwean politician, currently serving as Minister of Higher Education. He was previously the Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1995 to 2005.

Mudenge is a professional historian focusing on African history in general but with specialty on pre-colonial Zimbabwean history. He has published several books in this regard.

In a cabinet reshuffle on April 16 2005, following the March 2005 parliamentary election, he was replaced as Minister of Foreign Affairs by Simbarashe Mumbengegwi and was appointed as Minister of Higher Education instead.

Within ZANU-PF, he has aligned himself with the Masvingo (Mnangagwa) faction, which is antagonistic to the Mujuru faction due to wrangles concerning ascendancy to the presidency if Mugabe leaves office.

Mudenge has been nominated by ZANU-PF as its candidate for the House of Assembly seat from Masvingo North constituency in the March 2008 parliamentary election.
