The '''Gadaba''' or '''Gutob people''' are an ethnic group of eastern [[India]]. They are a designated [[Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes|Scheduled Tribe]] in [[Andhra Pradesh]] and [[Odisha]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://censusindia.gov.in/Tables_Published/SCST/ST%20Lists.pdf |pages=21–22 |title=List of notified Scheduled Tribes |publisher=Census India |accessdate=15 December 2013 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131107225208/http://censusindia.gov.in/Tables_Published/SCST/ST%20Lists.pdf |archivedate=7 November 2013 }}</ref><br />

Their socioeconomic life is based on farming and daily labour. They are involved in both [[Slash-and-burn]] and plow cultivation. They live in permanent villages. They are well known for their tribal dance, the [[Dhemsa]]. The Gadabas speak [[Gutob language|Gutob]] and [[Ollari language|Ollari]], which are Austroasiatic and Dravidian languages respectively. Since the early 1980s the Gadabas have largely been displaced from their villages by the building of hydro-electric dams and the resulting lakes.<br />

Gadaba women traditionally wear neck rings which are about 500-700 grams each and can not be removed without the help of a blacksmith. As a part of their tradition, it is only removed after their death.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Gadabas in India|url=https://www.india9.com/i9show/Gadabas-29991.htm|access-date=2021-07-14|website=www.india9.com}}</ref> A Gadaba woman traditionally wears a two-piece dress which is very colorful, often striped in red, blue and white, which is woven by the women themselves. The ornaments they wear are not very different from those of other tribes.<br />
