Enrico Bruna (11 November 1880 – 7 February 1921) was an Italian rower.[1]

Bruna was born in 1880 in Venice. He competed at the 1906 Intercalated Games (also known as the 1906 Olympic Games) in Athens where he won three rowing gold medals: in the coxed pair event over 1 km, in the same boat class over 1 mile, and in the coxed four.[2]

After WWI, he competed in the men's coxed four at the Inter-Allied Games outside Paris and won gold. He died two years later in Venice aged 40.[2]
