Buyeo Ubok (扶餘優福, ? – ?) a member of the royal family of Baekje, one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. He was a son of descendant of the 6th king, Gusu of Baekje.[1]

The Samguk Sagi records:

In 321 he was appointed Minister of the Interior (Naeshinjoapyung, 內臣佐平).

In 327 he started a rebellion against his "half-brother" Biryu and took control of the fortresses north of the Han River. The king dispatched soldiers to attack him and the rebellion was stopped.[2]
