Joshua Bunce (May 10, 1847 – April 28, 1912) was an American left fielder and umpire in Major League Baseball who played in one game for the Brooklyn Hartfords in 1877 and was hitless in four at bats.

Bunce also served as an umpire in the National League for seven games in 1877 – four of them prior to his sole appearance as a player and three after – and was umpiring amateur baseball games in the New York area as late as 1897.

He died of heart disease in his home on Bedford Avenue at age 64.

The reporter for the Times summarized, "The game was tedious and uninteresting, and was witnessed by about 200 persons.
