Brucetown is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in northern Frederick County, Virginia, United States.

Brucetown was named for the Bruce family, some of the earliest Europeans that settled there.

Sir John Robert Bruce, I came to the area between 1731 and 1737, and built a grist and sawmill that established the village.

During the French and Indian War, Littler's wife Mary (née Mary Ross, 1707-1741) operated the "Blue Ball Inn" near the village and hosted officers of the 44th British Regiment.

During the American Civil War, Generals George Armstrong Custer, Jubal Early, and Fitzhugh Lee were known to have frequented the village.
