Gambaga is the capital of the East Mamprusi Municipal Assembly in the North East Region of Ghana. Once a residence of Mamprusi-kings it is still the capital of East Mamprusi Municipal Assembly, a municipality in the North East Region of Ghana.[1] It is home to several ancient Mossi chiefs' gravesites.

From 1901 until 1957 Gambaga served as the capital of the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast, which was a British protectorate and a separate jurisdiction from the Gold Coast.

Gambaga, along with other places in Ghana, is the site of a camp for alleged witches. A 2011 documentary film directed by Yaba Badoe is entitled The Witches of Gambaga.[2]
