Bule Hora is a woreda in Oromia Region, Ethiopia. It formerly included Dugda Dawa and Kercha districts. Part of the West Guji Zone, Bule Hora was bordered on the south by the Dawa River which separates it from Arero, on the southwest by Yabelo, on the west by the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region and Gelana Abaya, on the northeast by Uraga, and on the east by Odo Shakiso. The largest town of Bule Hora is Bule Hora Town.
 In May 2000, a field assessment by the UNDP which included Bule Hora town collected informal reports of a growing number of private investors in coffee pulping/processing factories and coffee plantations in the district; however, many of their informants expressed concern voiced that this had been at the expense of local farmers. The four major crops grown in this district are maize, wheat, barley and haricot beans in that order, with some long cycle sorghum and teff as well; in some parts ensete or the false banana is also grown, which offers a degree of security during famines. Coffee is also an important cash crop; over 5,000 hectares are planted with it.
 Workers for the Texas Africa Exploration Company in 1958 found near Bule Hora town the titanium minerals rutile and ilmenite, as well as talc lenses which often contain asbestos, although the lenses found were very small in size, and the quality of the asbestos fiber was not good.
 In April 2005, ethnic conflict between the Guji Oromo and the Gabbra in southern Oromia led to massive displacement of people. An NGO working in the area reported as many as 50,000 people in Bule Hora, Yabelo and Arero districts were forced to flee, and several thousand huts burnt.
