Adroa is the supreme god or spirit of the Lugbara people of central Africa.

Adroa is a god they worship, and this aspect of the god was known as ''Adroa 'ba o'bapiri'' ('God the creator of men'). Adroa was said to have created the first man, Gborogboro, and the first woman, Meme. Gborogboro and Meme were also twins, and they were considered the ancestors of the Lugbara. Adria is also credited with the establishment of social order, by communicating his laws to the tribal ancestors of the Lugbara.
