Bruce Van Dyke (born August 6, 1944 in Lancaster, California) was an American football guard in the National Football League who played eleven seasons for three teams. Bruce grew up in Buckner Missouri, and attended Fort Osage High School in Independence Missouri. At the University of Missouri, he was a two way starter, playing on both the offensive and defensive lines under head coach Dan Devine. As a 1st-Team All Big Eight Defensive Tackle in 1965, Bruce played on Tiger teams that went a combined 21-8-2 from 1963 to 1965. The 1965 squad on which he served as a captain, finished the year ranked 6th nationally, and closed the season with a win over Florida in the 1966 Sugar Bowl. Bruce was selected to play in the Hula Bowl in 1966, and was inducted into the University of Missouri's Intercollegiate Hall of Fame in 2001.

Bruce was a key player for the Pittsburgh Steelers for seven years. In 1967, during his first year with the Steelers, the team won only one game. Seven years later, in 1973, Pittsburgh won their first AFC Divisional title. In 2008, Bruce was named to the Steelers Legends Team.
