Gubaru (also: Ugbaru, old Persian: Gaubaruva) (c. 601 BC – ?) was the Median governor of Babylon following the conquest of that city by Persian ruler Cyrus the Great [1]. Gubaru was previously governor of Gutium [2].

Some have claimed that he is the Darius the Mede named in the Book of Daniel, suggesting that Darius was a title assumed by Median kings.
