Chidiebuka is an Igbo (southeastern Nigerian) theophoric name.

Used across Igbo communities in Nigeria and the diaspora throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, it reflects the strong tradition of Chi-/Chukwu- names shaped by both Christian and indigenous belief.

Common short forms include Chidi and Ebuka; related variants and expansions include Chukwuebuka (“God is great,” explicitly invoking Chukwu) and the standalone Ebuka.
