Bungku is a town and the administrative centre of the Regency of Morowali, in Central Sulawesi Province of Indonesia.

[3] In 2004, the plan to shift the Morowali capital southeast from Kolonodale to Bungku left non-Bungku residents, both Protestant and Muslim, feeling further disenfranchised.

[4] Accordingly on 12 April 2013 a separate North Morowali Regency (with its capital at Kolonodale) was established by separating the northwesterly districts from Morowali Regency.

The city is served by Maleo Airport, opened in March 2017.

[5] Bungku has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with moderate rainfall from September to November and heavy rainfall from December to August.
