Bruce Arthur Norris was an NHL owner and executive. He, his brother James, and his sisters Eleanor and Marguerite Norris inherited shares in the Detroit Red Wings and the New York Rangers, following the death of their father James on December 4, 1952.

To make things less complicated, arrangements were made to have Eleanor, Marguerite and Bruce own the Red Wings, while James would own the Chicago Black Hawks and the Rangers. In practice, this meant that James sold his shares in the Red Wings, while the rest of the Norris family sold their shares in the Rangers. He had become an owner of the Black Hawks on September 11, 1952, after Bill Tobin had decided to sell his majority stake in the team.

The Norris family owned the Red Wings until 1982, when it sold to Marian and Mike Ilitch. They also owned their CHL/AHL affiliate, first based in Missouri and then in Virginia and New York, and held a stake (40%) in their IHL affiliate, the Kalamazoo Wings.

He passed away on January 1, 1986.
