Koidu tai Koidu-New Sembehun on Sierra Leonen Itäisessä maakunnassa sijaitsevan 505 767 asukaan Konon piirikunnan hallintokeskus. Kaupungin asukasluku oli 128 074 (VL2015;[1] vuonna 2004 väkiluku oli 80 025 as.). Se kasvoi osaltaan, kun läheinen New Sembehun liitettiin aiempaan Koiduun.[2]

Koidussa sijaitsee timanttikaivosalue, jota Sierra Leone Selection Trust vuokraa.[2] Siellä toimii esimerkiksi israelilaisomisteinen Koidu Holdings, jolla on Sierra Leonen suurin teollinen timanttikaivos. Seudun asukkaat etsivät timantteja myös perinteisemmin käsityönä. Ensimmäiset timantit löydettiin vuonna 1930 ja alueen ”helmiin” kuuluu vuonna 1972 esiin kaivettu maailman suurin alluviaalinen Sierra Leonen tähti -timantti (Star of Sierra Leone, hiomattomana 968,9 karaattia eli 193,8 g). 1990-luvun sisällissodan aikaan seudun asukkaita pakotettiin aseellisesti kaivostöihin ja seudun timantteja salakuljetettiin Liberiaan. Julmuuksien vuoksi seudun timantteja nimitettiin myös veritimanteiksi, mutta sodan päätyttyä ja olojen parannuttua kansainväliset rajoitukset sierraleonelaisille timanteille poistettiin vuonna 2003. Seudun timantteja toimitaan nykyisin maailman tunnetuimmille korulikkeille kuten Tiffany & Co.:lle.[3]
