Gwa (Burmese: ဂွမြို့) is a town located at the southern tip of Myanmar's Rakhine State.

In the 2014 census, the town and surrounding rural areas had a population of 66,015, of which only 7,422 are urban.

Like all of Rakhine State, Gwa has a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen Am) with a lengthy dry season from mid-November to April and an extremely wet wet season due to the blocking of moisture-saturated westerly monsoon winds by the Arakan Mountains.

Temperatures are very warm to hot throughout the year, although cool breezes and comfortable nights during the dry season make conditions fairly pleasant.

Rice, bamboo and coconuts are also widely grown in Gwa for export.
