Bruno Gordano Grollo AO (born 1942, Melbourne, Victoria) is an Australian businessman, property developer, former Director of Grocon and is noted for his controversy surrounding the Swanston Street Wall incident on 29 March 2013.

Bruno is the son of Luigi Grollo, who founded Grocon, one of Australia’s largest construction companies, in 1948 after immigrating to Australia from Italy. Bruno’s role in his company remains despite handing the title of chief executive and chairman to his son, Daniel Grollo in 1999.

Following public disputes with Infrastructure NSW in 2020, Grocon announced that it and 86 of its subsidiaries have entered Voluntary Administration.[2]
