Datuk Seri Panglima Wilfred Bumburing (born 2 December 1951) is a Malaysian politician who served as the Deputy Chief Minister of Sabah and Member of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Tamparuli from 1985 to 1999 and again from May 2013 to May 2018, Member of Parliament (MP) for Tuaran from March 2008 to May 2013.

Bumburing was first elected to the State Assembly in 1986, as a member of the United Sabah Party (PBS). In 1994, he joined Bernard Dompok in defecting from PBS to join the Barisan Nasional coalition, setting up the party that subsequently became the United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO). He was a Deputy Chief Minister in the Barisan Nasional government.[1]

He was elected to federal Parliament in the 2008 election for the seat of Tuaran.[2][3] His election came after UPKO's incumbent member Wilfred Madius Tangau stood down citing the wishes of the party's leadership.[4] In 2011, he left UPKO to sit in Parliament as a member of People's Justice Party (PKR) of the opposition Pakatan Rakyat coalition.[5] He recontested the 2013 election as a PKR candidate, but lost his seat to Tangau, who had returned to the UPKO deputy presidency. C did, however, win the seat of Tamparuli in the Sabah State Legislative Assembly.[6] In 2016 Wilfred Bumburing left PKR for the newly formed Love Sabah Party (PCS) and was elected as its new president.[7]

On 16 February 2024, Wilfred Bumburing returned United Progressive Kinabalu Organisation (UPKO) after 12 years left the party.[8]
