Gungahlin is a suburb in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), situated within the traditional lands of the Ngunnawal people. The Ngunnawal people have lived on this land for thousands of years and have a deep spiritual and cultural connection to the area.

Gungahlin is a relatively new suburb established in the 1990s to cater to the growing population of Canberra. It is located approximately 13 kilometres northeast of Canberra's central business district and covers an area of about 40 square kilometres.

The suburb of Gungahlin is named after the nearby Gungahlin Homestead, which was built in the 1850s and is now a heritage-listed building. The word "Gungahlin" is thought to mean "little rocky hill" in the Ngunnawal language. However, there is some debate about the exact meaning.

Gungahlin is a rapidly growing suburb with around 80,000 people as of 2021. It has various amenities, including shopping centres, schools, parks, and recreational facilities. The suburb also has excellent transport links, with easy access to major roads and public transport services.

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the significance of the Ngunnawal culture and heritage in the Gungahlin area. This has led to a range of initiatives to promote and preserve Ngunnawal culture, including establishing cultural centres and including Ngunnawal language and culture in local schools and community events.

One of the fastest-growing regions in Australia (2017), the District of Gungahlin is one of the original eighteen districts of the Australian Capital Territory. The greater Gungahlin City consists of the suburbs of Nicholls, Ngunnawal, Palmerston, Franklin, Harrison, Throsby, Forde, Casey, Taylor, Moncrief and Amaroo. Just over the hill to the north is the small village of Hall. The edges of the suburb are Horse Park Drive, Gundaroo Drive and Gungahlin Drive. The town of Gungahlin was part of the original 1957 plan for future development in the ACT and, in 1991, was officially launched as Canberra's fourth 'town' by the ACT Chief Minister.

Gungahlin is one of the five satellite cities that make up the ACT. The other locations include Canberra North and South, Tuggeranong, Woden, and Belconnen.

Gungahlin is serviced by the first stage of the light rail and is fast becoming a self-sufficient satellite city of the ACT.
