Badra Zurabovich Gunba[1][2] (Abkhaz: Бадра Зураб-иԥа Гәынба, romanized: Badra Zurab-ipha Gwnba; Russian: Бадра Зурабович Гунба; born 14 August 1982) is an Abkhazian politician who currently serves as the acting President of Abkhazia. He was previously the Minister for Culture and the Preservation of Historical and Cultural Heritage of Abkhazia from 2011 until 2014. He was appointed by newly elected President Alexander Ankvab on 13 October 2011.[3] Following the May 2014 revolution and the election of President Raul Khajimba, Gunba was replaced as minister by Elvira Arsalia.[4]

He was elected as Vice President of Abkhazia as the running mate of Aslan Bzhania in the 2020 presidential elections.[5]

On November 19, 2024, Gunba became acting President of Abkhazia when Aslan Bzhania resigned following the storming of parliament by opposition protestors.[6]
