Bude (Cornish: Porthbud)[1] is an electoral division of Cornwall in the United Kingdom.

From 2013 to 2021, it returned two members to sit on Cornwall Council, making it the only division to elect more than one Councillor. After boundary changes at the 2021 election, it now returns only one member. The current councillor is Peter La Broy, who was elected as a Liberal Democrat, but now sits as an Independent after leaving the Liberal Democrats in June 2021.[2][3]
