Gumie (Chinese:姑蔑) was a small state during the Zhou dynasty and Spring and Autumn period (722-479 B.C.) running from the southwest of Yue, in China's modern day southwestern Zhejiang province, around the cities of Jinhua and Quzhou, to Yushan in northern Jiangxi province. It is believed to be a remnant polity of the Dongyi people who populated much ofeastern China. It was conquered by King Goujian of Yue during the height of Yue expansionism, after which the area fell under Chu control after the fall of Yue to Chu. Eventually, the area was conquered by Qin after the conquest of Chu by Qin.

A tomb complex that has been discovered in Qujiang district, Quzhou city of Zhejiang province is likely the royal burial site of Gumie. Four of the 10 tombs have been excavated between 2018 and 2021.
