Bruce Elias Malouf (3 March 1956 — 14 November 2019) was an Australian rugby union international.

Malouf, born in Coonabarabran, attended St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill and was a 1975 Australian Schoolboys representative player. He played his rugby as a hooker and made his first-grade debut with Randwick in 1977.[1]

First called up by the Wallabies in 1980, Malouf was initially an understudy to Bill Ross. He was on the 1981–82 tour of Britain and Ireland, where a leg injury picked up while training in London kept him on the sidelines. His only Wallabies cap came in the 1982 Bledisloe Cup match at Lancaster Park, Christchurch.[2]

Malouf was a first-grade coach at Manly RUFC during the 1990s.[3]
