Jiří Bubla[1] (born January 27, 1950) is a Czech former professional ice hockey defenceman.

Bubla played his entire National Hockey League career with the Vancouver Canucks, beginning in 1982. He retired after the 1985–86 season. He is the father of Jiří Šlégr, Jan Bubla and Štefan Bubla.

He completed for Czechoslovakia at the 1976 Winter Olympics, where the teams won the silver medal, and at the 1980 Winter Olympics.[2]

Following his retirement from ice hockey, he was arrested at the 1987 IIHF World Championship in Vienna and charged with involvement in a drug trafficking ring. Convicted of smuggling four kilograms of heroin, he served nearly four years in an Austrian jail.[3]
