Buzen (豊前国; -no kuni) was an old province of Japan in northern Kyūshū, which bordered on Bungo and Chikuzen provinces. Today the area is the eastern part of Fukuoka Prefecture, including some northern districts of Ōita Prefecture.
The ruins of the ancient capital of the province were found near Toyotsu, Fukuoka. The castle town of Kokura was also in Buzen, and a seat of many feudal rulers.
After the abolition of the clan system in 1871 Buzen Province became Kokura prefecture for four years until it was absorbed by Fukuoka Prefecture in 1876.
