Gonbaki (Persian: گنبکی)[a] is a city in the Central District of Gonbaki County, Kerman province, Iran, serving as capital of both the county and the district.[4] It is also the administrative center for Gonbaki Rural District.[5]

In October 2011, the village of Mohammadabad-e Gonbaki merged with the villages of Abbasabad, Aliabad, Behtarabad, Dowlatabad, Hasanabad, Hojjatabad, and Jannatabad to form the new city of Gonbaki.[6]

At the 2006 National Census, its population (as Mohammadad-e Gonbaki) was 128 in 34 households, when it was a village in Gonbaki Rural District of the former Rigan District of Bam County.[7] The village did not appear in the census of 2011,[8] by which time the rural district had been separated from the county in the establishment of Rigan County.[9] The latest census in 2016 showed a population of 7,210 people in 1,869 households,[2] when Mohammadabad-e Gonbaki had merged with six villages to become the city of Gonbaki.[6]

In 2023, Gonbaki District was separated from Rigan County in the establishment of Gonbaki County and divided into two districts and four rural districts, with Gonbaki as its capital and only city.[4]
