Sir Bruce Greatbatch, KCVO, CMG, MBE, KStJ (10 June 1917 – 20 July 1989) was a British Colonial Service officer and soldier who was the Governor of the Seychelles and Commissioner of the British Indian Ocean Territory from 1969 to 1973. He organized the forced deportation of the Chagossians from the Chagos Archipelago, which the International Court of Justice later ruled to be a violation of the Chagossians' right to self-determination.
