Ambrose Francis "Bruce" Ogrodowski (February 17, 1912 – March 5, 1956) was an American professional baseball player, a catcher who appeared in 184 Major League games played for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1936–1937.

A native of Hoytville, Pennsylvania, he threw and batted right-handed, stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 175 pounds (79 kg).

During a regular season exhibition game in Cleveland that year he was the first Major League Baseball batter to face Bob Feller.

In 1937, he appeared in four fewer games but nonetheless was the most-used catcher for the Redbirds; however, he improved his batting average by only five points.

After managing in the farm systems of the Boston Braves and St. Louis Browns, Ogrodowski died at age 44 in San Francisco after having been ill since suffering a stroke in 1953.
