The Berau people, also known as Banua is an ethnic group that lives in Berau, in the north of East Kalimantan province, Indonesia.

The Berau culture began with the former Berau Kingdom, a kingdom established by Baddit Dipattung or Aji Raden Surya Nata Kesuma and his wife, Baddit Kurindan or Aji Permaisuri, centered in Lati River, Gunung Tabur in 14th Century. They united traditional Berau villages called Banua, such as Banua Merancang, Banua Pantai, Banua Kuran, Banua Rantau Buyut and Banua Rantau Sewakung. Exploiting internal divisions, VOC successfully split the kingdom to two, Sambaliung Sultanate and Gunung Tabur Sultanate. Islam arrived around the same time in 17th century brought by the figure Imam Sambuayan.

They speak Berau Malay language, locally called Berau or Banua language, which is one of the three native Malayic languages in southeastern Borneo, closely related to Banjar and Kutai.
