The Bua or Boua was an Albanian noble family According to G. Schiro, "Bua" originated as a cognomen, perhaps a diminutive derived from Benedetto. Another possible derivation is from bua, "buffalo". It was not kin (blood relatives) with the earlier Spata family.

Members

• Peter Bua (fl. 1450s), Morean rebel leader
• Theodore Bua (fl. 1479), Venetian mercenary captain
• Mercurio Bua (1478–1542), Venetian mercenary captain, son of Theodore
