Bruno Miguel Esteves Vale (born April 8, 1983 in Mafamude, Vila Nova de Gaia) is a Portuguese football goalkeeper. He is an FC Porto player, currently playing on loan for Varzim Sport Club.

Vale played on loan for Estrela da Amadora in the 2005/2006 season. He was selected as Portugal's third goalkeeper for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, despite having been capped only once, against Kazakhstan (1-0) in a 2003 friendly match, where he played 22 minutes as a substitute. However, he injured his foot in a game against Germany in the UEFA U-21 Championship 2006 contest played in Portugal, and was forced to pull out of the squad.

In 2006-07, he was loaned again, to first division União de Leiria, where he went almost unnoticed the entire season, and the following season dropped down a level, joining Liga Vitalis's Varzim S.C..
