Bula (/ˈbjuːlə/ BEW-lə) is an unincorporated community in Bailey County, Texas, United States. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 35 in 2000.

The community of Bula was established in 1924 and was originally given the name Newsome for W.B. Newsome. He and his brother, Tom, sold their ranch and divided it into 177.7 acres (71.9 ha) of farms in 1924–25. Due to a conflict with another Texas post office with the same name, the name was changed to Bula in 1925. It was given this name in honor of either Bula Maude Oakes, who was a daughter of Methodist preacher Roma A. Oakes, or Bula Thorn, who was the wife of the community's first postmaster, William H. Thorn. Bula had a cotton gin in 1929 but never grew significantly. By 1980, the population had risen to only 105, then dropped to 35 in 2000.

Although it is unincorporated, Bula has a post office, with the ZIP code of 79324.
