Kutaber (Amharic: ኩታበር) is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Debub Wollo Zone, Kutaber is bordered on the south by Dessie Zuria, on the west by the Adila River which separates it from Tenta, on the north by the Walano which separates it from Ambassel, and on the east by Tehuledere; both the Adila and the Walano, as well as all rivers in this woreda are tributaries of the Bashilo River. The major town in Kutaber is Kutaber.

Elevations in this woreda range from 800 meters at the northernmost point where the Walano joins the Bashilo, to 3200 meters in the hills around Kutaber and the ridge dividing the Entade and Guba Lafto Rivers.[2]
