Abdullah Bughra ({{langx|ug|(Kona Yëziq) ئابدۇللا بۇغرا, عبد الله بغرا}}; {{lang-zh|c=阿不都拉·布格拉|p=Ābùdūlā·Bùgélā}}; died 1934){{cite book|author=Ondřej Klimeš|title=Struggle by the Pen: The Uyghur Discourse of Nation and National Interest, c.1900-1949|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rdcuBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA122|date=8 January 2015|publisher=BRILL|isbn=978-90-04-28809-6|pages=122–}} was a Uighur Emir of the First East Turkestan Republic. He was the younger brother of Muhammad Amin Bughra and older brother of Emir Nur Ahmad Jan Bughra. He commanded Uighur and Kirghiz forces during the Battle of Kashgar (1934) against the Chinese Muslim 36th Division (National Revolutionary Army). The Chinese Muslims were loyal to the Chinese government and wanted to crush the Turkic Muslim Uighurs and Kirghiz in revenge for the Kizil massacre. He also had Afghan bodyguards protecting him. He was killed in 1934 at Yarkand by Chinese Muslim troops under general Ma Zhancang. All of Abdullah's fighters were killed, but his body was never found, which later gave rise to speculations about his fate.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IAs9AAAAIAAJ&q=styled+amir+abdullah+&pg=PR10|title=Warlords and Muslims in Chinese Central Asia: a political history of Republican Sinkiang 1911-1949|author=Andrew D.
