Wilfred Bouma (Dutch pronunciation: ; born 15 June 1978) is a Dutch former professional footballer who played most notably for PSV Eindhoven, Aston Villa and the Netherlands national team.

Bouma was a member of the Dutch squad at the 1995 FIFA World Youth Championship. As of July 2008, Wilfred Bouma has played for the Netherlands 35 times, scoring twice. Bouma made his debut on 2 September 2000, in the 2–2 draw with the Republic of Ireland. Several steady appearances followed in the coming years, including four appearances at UEFA Euro 2004, whilst playing as a centre-back.

Bouma was also included in the Dutch squad for UEFA Euro 2008, and he made two appearances, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute against France and playing the full 90 minutes against Romania. Bouma's only two goals at international level came within four months of each other, as the defender netted in the 3–2 defeat to Czech Republic in the group stage of Euro 2004. He then went on to net the opener against Macedonia in October of the same year, in a match which ended 2–2.

Bouma did an internship in 2015 as a youth coach at PSV. Since 2019, he has been an assistant coach at Jong PSV, under head coach Peter Uneken.

Bouma was born in the Netherlands and is of Surinamese and Indonesian descent. He lives in Eindhoven.
