Bruce James McFee (18 May 1961 – 9 September 2021) was a Scottish National Party (SNP) politician. He was elected as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for the West of Scotland region at the 2003 election.[2] McFee served on the Scottish Parliament's Procedures and Justice 1 Committees.[3] He was involved in local campaigns to save Ferguson's shipyard in Port Glasgow[4] and to retain the name of the University of Paisley.[5]

He had previously served as leader of the SNP group on Renfrewshire Council and was re-elected to the council in 2007, representing the Johnstone North, Kilbarchan and Lochwinnoch ward.[6] He did not seek re-election to the Scottish Parliament in 2007 and retired from local government at the 2012 Scottish local elections.

McFee suffered a stroke in March 2019, which saw him enter full-time care thereafter. He died in Paisley, Renfrewshire on 9 September 2021 at the age of 60.[7]
