Virtualbox is available from the Ubuntu repository. You can install it from the Ubuntu Software Center or using the terminal by running sudo apt-get install virtualbox

If you need the Oracle maintained VirtualBox run this in the Terminal:

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian 
'$(lsb_release -cs)' contrib non-free' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/virtualbox.list" && 
wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-
key add - && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.3 dkms
