Gungunhana (1850-1906), also spelt Gungunyana, Ngungunhane or Gungunyane, was the king of Gaza (now in Mozambique) from 1885 to 1895. A vassal of the Portuguese king, he later rebelled and was defeated and imprisoned by the Portuguese Army, led by Joaquim Mouzinho de Albuquerque. He was exiled to Lisbon and then to the island of Terceira, in the Azores, where he converted to Catholicism and lived until his death.
