Gambissara is a town in south-eastern Gambia near the border with Senegal.

It is located in Fulladu West District in the Upper River Division.

[1] A historically important village, Gambissara was founded by Bunasa Tunkara.

It was split in two by the border drawn as a result of the Anglo-French Convention of 1889.

The French side subsequently emptied as the villagers fled more onerous tax and forced labor demands there.
