The Bầu lords (Vietnamese: Chúa Bầu; Chữ Hán: 主裒, 1527–1689) were members of Vũ clan who ruled Tuyên Quang province throughout the Northern and Southern dynasties and Trịnh–Nguyễn War period. As the Vũ lords resided in the castle on the Bầu mountain, they were generally called Bầu lords.

In the Lê–Mạc War, Bầu lords refused to follow Mạc dynasty (who were their de jure superior during this period), instead they followed the revival Lê dynasty in the south. However, when the revival Lê dynasty captured Thăng Long in 1593, they secretly allied with Mạc dynasty and oppose the central government. Following Vũ Công Tuấn's capture and execution in 1689, Lê dynasty appointed a new governor in Tuyên Quang and dissolved the Vũ clan.
