Ruwa is a town in Mashonaland East Province, Zimbabwe, 23 kilometres southeast of Harare on the Harare to Mutare highway and railway. A trading post was set up there in the 1890s to serve the farming community; it became a growth point in 1986, a local board area in 1990 and gained town status in 2008. After independence it grew quickly into a popular residential area for people moving out of Harare, with suburbs such as Damofalls Park, Zimre Park and Riverside Park. The Ariel School near the town was the site of a reported UFO sighting by schoolchildren in 1994. Ruwa counted 94,078 people in the 2022 census.
