Gbatse is a town in Nigeria located in Ushongo LGA in Benue State. The present day Gbatse was part of the Benue province until 1918 when it adopted its name from one of its dominant geographical features, the River Benue.

When Nigeria was divided into regions, and in 1967, the structure reorganized into administrative states Benue-Plateau State and later, in 1976, Benue State was created out of the defunct, where Gbatse was considered influenced by its cultural heritage and the broader context of Nigeria's development during that time.

Gbatse is known for its culture and large agriculture. A vast majority of the inhabitants of Gbatse are members of Mbabion Kindred, Mbaikyaa District of Tiv land.[1]
