Bruce Gordon (born 4 February 1929 in Randwick, New South Wales) is an Australian businessman. He is the owner of the Australian television network, WIN Television through his ownership of WIN Corporation, as well as the largest shareholder in Ten Network Holdings, and recently, partly owns 14% stake in Nine Entertainment Co.
For thirty years, he worked in Hollywood as a programming executive at Paramount Television.
Gordon gained control of Television Wollongong Transmission Ltd (later rebadged as WIN TV) in 1979 from Rupert Murdoch. He then expanded WIN Television's operations during the 1990s, buying out the other shareholders in 1991 after buying two licences in Queensland and Crawford Productions. By the end of the decade WIN had licences and transmitters in all Australian states and mainland territories.
In 2014, the Business Review Weekly assessed Gordon's net worth at A$1,096 million.
