Bunyaruguru is a region in western Uganda that was an independent kingdom before becoming part of the British colonial administration and later modern Uganda. The area became part of the British Ankole protectorate in 1901, marking the end of its independence as a traditional kingdom.

Today, Bunyaruguru exists as one of two counties within Rubirizi District, alongside Katerera County. Rubirizi District was carved out of Bushenyi District in July 2010, with the district headquarters located in Rubirizi town. The district is composed of nine sub-counties and two town councils, with Bunyaruguru County encompassing several of these administrative units.
