Joyce Bland (10 May 1906 – 24 August 1963) was a Welsh film actress.
Joyce Bland was born in 1906, at Caerleon, Wales. She trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Bland made her stage debut on tour in 1927 in The Constant Nymph. She then returned to London and understudied Tallulah Bankhead.
Her interpretation of the role of Goneril in King Lear was considered "extraordinary" and "sinister". However, another critic referred to her as "the aptly named Joyce Bland," who "spoke finely" and "looked beautiful" as Desdemona in Othello at Stratford.
Later she went to North America where she appeared in Shakespearean roles.
