Victor Bruns (Russian: Виктор Брунс; 15 August 1904 – 6 December 1996) was a German composer and bassoonist.

Victor Bruns was born to German parents in their summer house in Ollila near St Petersburg, in an area which was, at the time, part of the Russian Empire.

[1][2] When he was expelled from the Soviet Union for being a German citizen suspected of spionage, he took the same position from 1940 to 1944 at the Berlin Volksoper.

The International Double Reed Society (IDRS) named him its 16th Honorary Member in 1986, on a nomination by William Waterhouse.

[3] The focus of his work is instrumental concertos and chamber music while there was wide appreciation of his ballets, such as Das Recht des Herrn (1953) by Daisy Spies and Neue Odyssee (1957) by Albert Burkat.
