Bruno Lionel Schroder (1933–2019) was a British banker and a descendant of the Schroder banking dynasty. A long-serving director of Schroders plc, he played a key role in maintaining family influence within the firm. Beyond finance, he was a notable landowner in Scotland, particularly on the Isle of Islay, where he managed extensive estates and was involved in conservation efforts.
