Jabez Bryce (born 1935) is a Tonga-born leader in the Anglican Church. As of 2005 he is the Bishop of Polynesia in the Province of New Zealand, which includes most of the South Pacific.

Bryce was born in Vava’u, Tonga. He is based in Suva, Fiji, where the Anglican Church has about 8000 followers.

Bryce spoke out strongly against the Fiji coup of 2000, and condemned the lawlessness that accompanied and followed it. His church has a higher percentage of Indo-Fijians than any other denomination.
