Bram Vandenbussche (born February 1, 1981 in Bruges) is a Belgian professional footballer. He usually plays as central defender, although he is sometimes fielded as defensive midfielder in times of need. His heading is his strongest point. Vandenbussche started his career at Cercle Brugge and has played for no other team so far.

In 2002, Bram Vandenbussche won the "Cercle Brugge Pop Poll".

In the 2005-2006 season, Vandenbussche startled the Belgian football competition when he failed a doping test. Traces of corticosteroids were found. Luckily for Vandenbussche, he could prove that he had suffered from his back. The Cercle Brugge medical staff had given him an injection for this, so they also took responsibility for Vandenbussche's positive doping test.
