Bergüenda () or Bergonda () is a hamlet and concejo in the municipality of Lantarón, in Álava province, Basque Country, Spain.

== History == The settlement of Bergüenda lies along an ancient Roman road and features remains from the Iron Age. It is first documented in the 10th century (913) as Bergonda, recorded in documents from the Monastery of San Millán as part of the royal domain. It later passed to the Count of Orgaz and then to the lord of Villamenazar, to whom local nobles paid an annual tribute of 42 ducats and commoners delivered Christmas hens. Residents freely elected municipal officials, with the lord confirming and receiving the oath of the chief mayor.
