The '''Agumba''' (also '''Gumba''') people were an [[ethnic group]] who inhabited the plains of what is now central [[Kenya]], but are now either [[extinct]] or assimilated. |

They are known only through the oral tradition of the [[Kikuyu people|Kikuyu]] and [[Ogiek]] peoples, who credit them as being the original inhabitants of the territory; the Agumba are described as being [[hunter-gatherer]]s, and [[pygmy|pygmies]]. According to Kikuyu descriptions, they worked with iron and made pottery, and were [[beekeeping|beekeeper]]s. |

The Agumba, along with several other groups, were sometimes called the [[Dorobo]] by the [[Maasai people|Maasai]] and other cattle-herding groups. This derogatory term was also used in much of the early academic anthropological literature on the area. |
