Dr. Frederick Victor Nanka-Bruce (9 October 1878〔Magnus Sampson, ''Makers of Modern Ghana'', Vol. One, Accra: Anowuo Publications, 1969, p. 179.〕 – 13 July 1953) was a physician, journalist and politician in the Gold Coast. He was the third African to practise medicine in the colony, after Benjamin Quartey-Papafio and Ernest James Hayford.〔Jeffrey P. Green, ''Black Edwardians: Black people in Britain, 1901-1914'', Taylor & Francis, 1998, p. 147.

==Early life and family==
Frederick Victor Bruce, the son of Alexander Bruce, an Accra merchant, and Christiana Reindorf, was the scion of two prominent Ga families. The Bruces were from James Town or British Accra, while the Reindorfs were from Danish Accra or Osu. His father was a descendant of a prominent Ga trader Robert William Wallace Bruce, while his mother was a relative of the Basel Mission catechist Carl Christian Reindorf. Bruce appended "Nanka" in honour of his ancestor, Robert William Wallace Bruce, who was also known as Nii Nanka.
Nanka-Bruce was educated at the Government School in Accra and at the Wesleyan Boys' High School in Lagos.〔 After an apprenticeship to a dispenser in Accra, he was a member of the 1900 Kumasi Expedition - besieged in Kumasi Fort with the Governor, Frederick Hodgson, until the expedition managed to break through the Ashanti lines to the coast.〔"F. V. Nanka-Bruce, O.B.E., M.B., Ch.B.", ''British Medical Journal'', 1 August 1953, p. 289.〕 In 1901 he travelled to study medicine at Edinburgh University. Gaining his M.B. and Ch.B. in 1906, he worked at the London Hospital before returning to Accra in 1907.
