Injibara (Amharic: እንጅባራ) is a town in Ethiopia. It is the administrative center of the Agew Awi Zone in the Amhara Region. Injibara is located at , in Banja Shekudad woreda at an elevation of above sea level.
Injibara is situated in a predominantly mountainous location. Mount Zerehi, one of many massive stone monoliths found in the area, is to the west of the Bahir Dar road as it enters the town. Another geographical feature of the area is the Zengena crater lake just south of the town. The hills and valleys receive high amounts of rain, especially in the rainy season. This high rainfall permits farmers to grow multiple crops a year. With this rainy weather comes hail, however, which is a major problem for the local farmers.
