'William Bruce Hutchison' (5 June 1901 – 14 September 1992) was a Canadian author and journalist.
Born in Prescott, Ontario, he was educated in public schools in Victoria, British Columbia. He married Dorothy Kidd McDiarmid in 1925, around the same time that he began his journalism career as a political reporter in Ottawa. He was Associate Editor for ''The Winnipeg Free Press'' from 1944 to 1950 and editor of the ''Victoria Daily Times'' from 1950 to 1963.
He travelled extensively throughout Canada during his career, and was present at the Imperial Conference of 1937. He was widely considered one of Canada's foremost experts on politics and was known in Washington, D.C. as well as Ottawa. He wrote frequently on the subject of current affairs and politics, as well as writing short stories for the ''Saturday Evening Post'', ''Collier's Weekly'', ''Cosmopolitan'', ''American Magazine'', and ''Liberty''.
In 1961, he was the first winner of the award from Distinguished Journalism in the Commonwealth, given by the Royal Society of Arts. In 1967 he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.
The Jack Webster Foundation created the Bruce Hutchison Lifetime Achievement Award to recognize people making a lifetime of contribution to the field of journalism in British Columbia.
