Buzaaya was an ancient Basoga chiefdom in what is now Kamuli District, Eastern Uganda. It was established c. 1720 and was an independent polity within the Kingdom of Busoga. Buzaaya was annexed by British protectorate of Busoga in 1906, ending its royal dynasty as part of the colonial unification of the Kingdom of Busoga.
Today, Buzaaya is a county administrative council in Kamuli District, represented by members in Parliament in Uganda.
