Butanol, being an alcohol, is slightly polar.

The C-O-H bonds are responsible for that. O being more electronegative pulls electrons towards itself from C and H atoms. However, it is less polar than methanol or ethanol.

Since it's an alcohol, it is considered polar. 1-butanol is only slightly polar and does not dissolve in water.
