The Boulton & Paul Bugle was a British medium bomber design built to meet Air Ministry Specification 30/22.

It drew on the company's experience with the Boulton Paul Bolton and Boulton & Paul Bourges.

There were two variants; the Bugle I with 400 hp (298 kW) Bristol Jupiter II radial engines (5 built) and the Napier Lion W-block Bugle II (2 built)
