Bruce Comben (born 25 October 1930) is a former Australian rules footballer in the Victorian Football League.
Comben made his debut for the Carlton Football Club in the Round 1 of the 1950 season. He retired from the game at the end of the 1961 season.
Bruce died in 2003 and left behind a wife named Shirley, sons named Stephen, Ronald, Anthony and William and a daughter named Lynnette. He owned supermarkets in the Laverton and Werribee area, when they were named SSW. However, the Werribee branch closed and the Laverton store became Comben's IGA.
