Babanusa (Arabic: بابنوسة) is a town in western Sudan.

In 1965, 72 Dinka civilians were massacred in the town by an Arab mob during the First Sudanese Civil War.

The intense battle lasted until February where the siege was lifted by the Sudanese army.

It is a railway junction on the national railway network where the line to Waw in South Sudan branches off to the south from the line westwards to Nyala.
