Bukwen is a Southern Bantoid language of Cameroon. It is spoken in a single village south of Takum, just across the Cameeroonian border from Furu Awa. The only data on Bukwen is found in a 1971 survey report by Robert Koops. Based on this limited data, it appears to be a Western Beboid language of the Mundabli–Buu group.
