Dale Buggins was an Australian stunt motorcyclist.

Buggins was born in Carmarthen, Wales, and emigrated to Australia with his family at the age of 7 months. His interest in motorcycles began at the age of nine, when his father gave him a small motorbike powered by a lawnmower engine.

On 28 May 1978 Buggins broke the world record by jumping over 25 cars at the Newcastle Motordome. In 1980 he visited Seattle in the United States to perform with American stunt motorcyclist Gary Wells.

Buggins committed suicide on September 18 1981.
