Dubhe (Tibetan: བདུད་བྷེ།; 1968 – 26 February 2016) was a Tibetan singer and songwriter.
A native of Maqu County, China, Dubhe was a songwriter in the Dunglen style—a form of Tibetan lute singing—from the Amdo region. His performances typically featured his vocals accompanied by the dramyin, a traditional Tibetan lute, and often incorporated elements of mandolin playing. This fusion of traditional and modern musical styles earned him the nickname "Cuckoo of the Snow Land".
