The Agumba people, also referred to as the Gumba, 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 and Ogiek peoples, who credit them as being the original inhabitants of the territory; the Agumba are described as being hunter-gatherers, and pygmies.
