Tyler Bouck (born on January 13, 1980 in Canmore, Alberta) is a professional ice hockey player who has played in the NHL for the Dallas Stars, Phoenix Coyotes, and Vancouver Canucks. He was recently cut from the Anaheim Ducks 49-man tryout roster and was the captain of Anaheim's affiliate, the Portland Pirates, for the 2007-08 season.

On August 8, 2008, Bouck was signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Buffalo Sabres, Portland's current NHL parent club, and will remain with Portland.

Bouck was a second-round draft pick (57th overall) by the Dallas Stars in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft after three years with the Prince George Cougars of the Western Hockey League. After another two seasons with the Cougars and a brief spell with the AHL's Utah Grizzlies, Bouck finally made his debut for Dallas during the 2000–01 NHL season, playing 48 regular-season games that season, scoring 7 points (2 goal and 5 assists}, but his stay with Dallas was a short one. On June 23, 2001, Bouck was traded from Dallas to the Phoenix Coyotes for Jyrki Lumme. Bouck only played seven games for Phoenix and played mostly for the Springfield Falcons of the AHL; his spell with the Coyotes lasted just six months as he was traded on December 28, 2001, along with Todd Warriner and Trevor Letowski to the Vancouver Canucks for Drake Berehowsky and Denis Pederson. Bouck began his Canucks career once again in the AHL with the Manitoba Moose until he was called up briefly to the Canucks roster in the 2003–04 NHL season, playing 18 regular-season games and scoring a goal and two assists for three points. During the 2004–05 NHL lockout, Bouck was one of many NHL players who played in European Leagues, playing for TPS in Finland's SM-liiga.
