The Gola or Gula are a West African ethnic group who share a common cultural heritage, language and history and who live primarily in western/northwestern Liberia and Eastern Sierra Leone. The Gola language is an isolate within the Niger–Congo language family. As of 2015, it is spoken by about 278,000 people.

The name Gola is a possible source for the name of the Gullah,[1] a people of African origin living on the islands and coastal regions of Georgia and South Carolina, in the southeastern United States.
