The Gallinas tribe is an ethnic group in Liberia, which formerly existed as an independent chiefdom.

In 1868 and 1869, the Liberian government rated the chiefdoms of the Gbenmah and Gallinas.[1]

In 1882, the king and chiefs of Gallinas ceded a piece of coastal territory to the British government.[2]
