Bude (Cornish: Bud) is a small resort town in north Cornwall, England, UK, on the coast at the mouth of the River Neet. It is suggested that the modern name is a shorterned form of Bude Haven and that this in turn was a curruption of the name Bede Haven meaning "Harbour of the holey Men" suggesting Bude might have been a landing place for early christans.

Notable buildings include the early English parish church, St Olaf's in the village of Poughill just outside of Bude, the parish church of St Michael and All Angels, Ebbingford Manor, and the town's oldest house, Quay Cottage in the centre of town. Bude Canal, which once ran to Launceston, now runs only a few miles inland.
