Bruno Méndez López (born April 16, 1990, in La Roda, Asturias) is a Spanish racing driver.
After a short karting career, Méndez begun his single–seater career in the Master Junior Formula in 2006, winning six races to finish as series runner–up behind fellow Spaniard Daniel Campos-Hull.
In 2007, Méndez graduated to Formula Three, racing in the Spanish Formula Three Championship for the emiliodevillota.com team. He finished his maiden season seventh in the standings after taking podium places at Estoril and Jerez.
He remained in the series for a second season in 2008, this time switching to the Escuderia TEC-Auto team. After winning at the season–opener in Jarama, he took a further three podiums to be classified in fifth place.
2009 saw Méndez stay in the series, now known as the European F3 Open Championship, for a third season. Driving for Campos Racing, he won four races and took a further seven podiums to win the title by just two points after a season–long duel with countryman Celso Míguez.
2011 saw Méndez return to the category after a year's absence, racing in the British series for Hitech Racing. However, he left the team after a poor first round at Monza where he picked up just one point from the three races.
