Henry Campbell Bruce, 2nd Baron Aberdare, VD, DL, JP (19 June 1851 – 20 February 1929), styled The Honourable from 1873 to 1895, was a British soldier and peer.

His military career, by virtue of his status in the nobility, was started early: he served in the Welch Regiment and became a major of the 3rd Battalion in 1899.

[4] Bruce married Constance Mary, daughter of Hamilton Beckett on 10 February 1880.

[5][2] His oldest son and heir apparent Henry was commissioned a captain in the 3rd Battalion, Royal Scots, but was killed in action soon after the First World War broke out.

[7] Bruce died himself in St George Hanover Square,[8] London, on 20 February 1929[9][10] and was succeeded in the barony by his second son Clarence.
