Bruce Tschirpig (born 11 October 1949) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1970s.
Tschirpig, originally from Wentworth, made eight appearances in the 1971 VFL season which included a four goal haul in a win over Carlton at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to celebrate Roger Dean's 200th game. Although he played in Richmond's final home and away season fixture, Tschirpig was not called upon for the finals.
He left for Latrobe the following season and while playing for the Tasmania club represented the state at the 1975 Knockout Carnival. Richmond lured him back in 1976 but he could only add two further games to his tally and finished his career in Western Australia where he played at East Fremantle and Perth.
