Trevor Robert Bryce ({{IPAc-en|b|r|aɪ|s}}; born 1940) is an Australian Hittitologist specializing in ancient and classical Near-eastern history. He is semi-retired and lives in Brisbane.

His book, The Kingdom of the Hittites, is popular among English-speaking readers since the study of the Hittites has been dominated by German-language scholarship.[http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/1999/1999-04-18.html Book review by Gary Beckman] A new improved and updated edition of this popular book, featuring 90 additional pages, was published in 2005.[http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/bmcr/2006/2006-11-34.html Book review by Stefanie A. H. Kennell] Bryce is a professor in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion, and Classics at The University of Queensland.
