Gorgobina, also called Gortona, was an oppidum of the Boii people in central Gaul, known from Julius Caesar's account of the Gallic War as the stronghold the Boii were permitted to settle by the Aedui in 58 BCE. It was besieged by Vercingetorix in 52 BCE, an event that drew Caesar into the campaign in Biturigan territory. The site has not been securely identified but is generally placed near Sancerre or the neighboring Saint-Satur in France.
