Charles Andrew Bruce (1768–1810) was briefly Governor of Prince of Wales Island (now called Penang) from March 24, 1810, until his death in office in December 1810.

Bruce was one of the sons of Charles Bruce, 5th Earl of Elgin and Martha Bruce, Countess of Elgin and Kincardine (1739–1810) and a brother of the collector Thomas Bruce, 7th Earl of Elgin, known for bringing the Elgin Marbles from Athens.

The Prince of Wales Island Gazette Extra of 21 March 1810 recorded the appointment and arrival of Charles Andrew Bruce as Governor and the appointment of Colonel Norman Macalister and William Edward Phillips as members of Council.
