The Gambulu, Gambulai,[1] or Gambuli[2] were a tribe of Arameans in ancient Babylonia.[3] They were the most powerful tribe along the eastern border of Babylonia,[4] or in the south toward the border with Elam.[5] It is difficult to pinpoint their exact location.[6] H. W. F. Saggs places them "south of the Diyala river toward the Elamite border."[3]

When Assyrian king Sargon II (722-705) waged war against them in the city of Dur-Athara, 18,430 were deported.[7]

The Gambulu, along with the Puqudu, continued to be politically important as far as the sixth century.[8]
