Alburquerque is a Filipino municipality in the southwest of Bohol Province with 10,540 inhabitants (August 1, 2015 census).
The place initially had the name Segunto and belonged to the municipality of Baclayon . On June 9, 1868, after a decree of the Governor General Jose de la Gandara, an independent municipality was founded and the name was changed to Alburquerque. The community was named after a city of the same name in what is now New Mexico , which in turn was named after Fernández de la Cueva, the then viceroy of New Spain , eighth Duke of Alburquerque. The Boholanos only briefly call the city Albur .
