Bruno Thiry (born 8 October 1962) is a Belgian rally driver. He was born in St. Vith, Province of Liège.
He began his career as an amateur in 1981, driving a Simca, and quickly became very successful in the Belgian Rally Championship. In 1994, he joined the Ford team to contest the World Rally Championship, driving a Ford Escort RS Cosworth. In these years, he managed several third places; on the RAC Rally in 1994 and on Rally San Remo and the Rally Catalunya in 1996. He finished 5th overall in the WRC standings in 1994.
In 1997, he won the Rally of the Azores in a privately entered Escort Cosworth. The following year saw Thiry continue in the Ford, then in 1999 he campaigned a Subaru Impreza in his role as third driver for the Subaru World Rally Team.
2001 saw Thiry join the Skoda team and he had a disappointing year in the Octavia WRC. His highest placings that year were 8th place on the Monte Carlo Rally, the Cyprus Rally and Rally Great Britain.
In 2002 and 2003, the Peugeot 206 WRC was Thiry's vehicle of choice. He won the Ypres Rally both years, and became European Champion in 2003 after five victories. In 2004, he was runner-up in a Citroën C2 S1600.
Since 2005, Thiry has more or less retired from motorsport and only occasionally competes on events. A notable recent result was second place on the Rally of Condroz in 2006, driving a Peugeot 307 WRC. His co-driver for most of his rallying career was fellow-Belgian Stéphane Prévot.
