Troyce Eual Guice (November 1, 1932 – March 29, 2008) was a prominent businessman in northeastern Louisiana who twice ran for the United States Senate in campaigns thirty years apart, 1966 and 1996. A conservative Democrat, Guice later, as a Mississippi voter, became a donor to the Republican Party. He was involved in three major business ventures – automobile sales, restaurants, and his Guice Farms, which he purchased in 1961 and expanded operations into five states.

Guice was born in St. Joseph, the seat of Tensas Parish, to Ivy Eual Guice (1910–1994) and the former Tressie Westbrook (1911–1999), later of Vidalia, the seat of Concordia Parish Tensas Parish, the smallest of Louisiana's sixty-four parishes, is located near the Mississippi River north of Natchez, Mississippi, where Guice spent his later years. Guice graduated from the then segregated Joseph Moore Davidson High School, since predominantly African American. Davidson was renamed in 2006 as Tensas High School and is the only public high school for Tensas Parish. He attended the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. He served in the United States National Guard.
