Bruno Menzel (25 February 1932 – 14 September 1996) was a German politician of the Free Democratic Party (FDP).

A physician by trade, Menzel became politically active during the Peaceful Revolution, co-founding the Free Democratic Party of the GDR and serving as their only leader until the merger with the West German FDP. He afterward was elected to the Bundestag, retiring in 1994 and dying soon thereafter.
