Bruce Fraser, Baron Fraser of North Cape was a senior British admiral during World War II. He was Commander-in-Chief of the Home Fleet during the later stages of the naval war in Europe, and during that period he commanded the fleet that destroyed the Scharnhorst in December 1943. That battle took place whilst Fraser's forces were escorting a convoy to Murmansk in the Soviet Union.

Following his command of the Home Fleet, he went east in the summer of 1944 to take command of the powerful British Pacific Fleet. Unlike his time in command of the Home Fleet this was not a seagoing command. He commanded from ashore in Australia. The BPF took part in the assault on Okinawa and the final strikes on the Japanese home islands. Fraser was the British signer of the Japanese Instrument of Surrender on 2 September 1945.

Following the war, he became First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff in 1948. He retired in 1951.
