Oluyole (fl. c. mid-1800s AD) was a leader and military commander from the Oyo empire. He rose to fame as Bashorun, a title he subsequently made famous, and was one of the leaders who contributed immensely to the military and economic development of Ibadan (the Oyo empire's capital) during the city's formative years, a period which had its share of tumult and uncertainty.
