Bucksburn is an area of the city of Aberdeen, Scotland, named after the stream that flows through it. Bucksburn was formerly a market village before being swallowed up by the spread of the city.

The area is bordered by countryside - in particular Kirkhill Forest and the land surrounding Brimmond Hill.

Bucksburn has a world-class pipe band, Bucksburn & District Pipe Band. Formed in 1947, this band has won numerous titles and represented Aberdeen in many places including Spain, Taiwan, Canada and Belarus. The Band teaches piping & drumming through a Junior Band which was crowned Scottish, British and World Champions in 2008.
