Bryce James Gaudry (23 November 1942 – 4 October 2019) was an Australian politician, elected as a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly representing Newcastle.
Gaudry was educated at Kendall District Rural School, Taree High School and Newcastle Teachers' College.[1] He received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of New South Wales and Macquarie University and became a physical education teacher. He was married with two adult children.
Gaudry represented Newcastle for the Labor Party from 1991 to 2007.[2] In 2006, the Labor Party State Executive deselected him in favour of a more prominent candidate.
