Buzzards Bay is a census-designated place (CDP) in the town of Bourne in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States.

Excessively drained sand underlies most of the community and the majority is mapped as Carver soil series.
Among the community's most prominent residents was President of the United States Grover Cleveland, who maintained a "Summer White House" at his home at Agawam Point in Buzzards Bay.
