Koumbia is a town in southwestern Burkina Faso, capital of the rural municipality (commune rurale) and Department of Koumbia in Tuy Province (Hauts-Bassins Region). It is situated about 70 km east of Bobo-Dioulasso along the trunk road Route nationale N1 to Ouagadougou where the Route régionale R25 joins the N1.[1]

This town should not be confused with the much smaller village of Koumbia in Fara Department of Balé Province (Boucle du Mouhoun Region)[2]
