Bruce Nicholas French (born August 13, 1959, Warsop, Nottinghamshire) is a former English cricketer who played in 16 Tests and 13 ODIs from 1985 to 1988. French played his first test against India at Leeds in 1986 and his last test against New Zealand in Wellington in March 1988.

French's best performance with the bat at test level came against Pakistan in the 1987 test at Old Trafford when he scored 59 in a rain-affected drawn match.

In his 16 test matches French scored 309 runs at an average of 18.11, took 38 catches and made one stumping.

French saved two young girls from drowning while on a test tour in Pakistan when he came across them by chance and has a trivial pursuit question about him for this.
