Bruce Johnstone was a South African racing driver who competed in Formula 1 during the 1962 season. He made a single World Championship start for BRM on 29 December 1962, finishing twentieth; he did not score points. That appearance marked the extent of his Formula 1 career on record.[1]

Johnstone's single-race sample offers limited insight into his competitive standing. He finished ahead of Carel Godin de Beaufort, a capable professional driver of that era, on that one occasion. His brief motorsport record places him among amateur or semi-professional drivers of the early 1960s, competing in a field dominated by established professionals and works drivers. BRM, his sole team, was a leading constructor of the period that would later field Jackie Stewart and win multiple championships.[2]
