Nikola Buća (Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Бућа; fl. 1325-1350) was a Serbian nobleman, merchant from Kotor, and protovestijar (financial manager) in the service of King Stephen Uroš III Dečanski of Serbia (r. 1321-1331) and Emperor Stephen Dušan the Mighty (r. 1331-1355).
Emperor Stephen Dušan asked Buća for advice in every major question, as he was his most reliable advisor, and Buća remained in the service of the Emperor until his death.
