David Bruce (May 5, 1900 – August 26, 1965) was a leading tournament contract bridge player of the 1930's who played under the name of David Burnstine. Born in New York City, he became Life Master #1 at the age of 36 regularly playing out of the Contract Bridge Club of New York. Burnstine was a member of the Four Horsemen team captained by P. Hal Sims and later left to create his own teams — the Bid-Rite team and subsequently the Four Aces. The Four Aces dominated tournament play in the later half of the 1930's. Burnstine moved to Los Angeles in 1939 changing his name to David Bruce and retired from regular tournament play. He died in 1965 and was inducted into the ACBL Hall of Fame in 1997.
