Bruce Nicholas James Oxenford (born 5 March 1960) is an Australian former cricket umpire and a former cricketer. He has been an ICC international umpire since 2008, when he first umpired an ODI match. He went on to stand in his first Test match in 2010. On 26 September 2012, he was promoted to the ICC Elite Umpire Panel, the highest umpiring body in the game of cricket, replacing fellow Australian Simon Taufel, who retired from the panel to take up a newly created ICC supervisory and training position.[1]

In January 2021, Oxenford retired from international umpiring, but would still officiate in domestic matches in Australia.[2]
