Bruno Dominix Hortelano Roig (born 18 September 1991) is a Spanish former athlete competing in sprinting events.
Early life and career Hortelano was born to Spanish parents in Wollongong, Australia, where his father was completing a PhD. After the family moved to Canada in 1992, Hortelano was raised in Burlington, Ontario. His sports interests varied from taekwondo, soccer and, in high school, American football. He was a member of the Burlington Track Club and also competed at high school venues initially contesting the 100 m and later the 110 m hurdles. From 2005 to 2009, he attended Assumption Catholic Secondary School. He was twice named the most valuable sprinter. Hortelano was a finalist in the 100 m at 10.76 in the 2009 OFSSA Provincial Championships, Toronto. That fall, Hortelano was enrolled at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he competed in the Ivy League; a genetics major, he graduated in 2014.University bio

At the 2016 European Championships, he won the gold medal after setting a new Spanish record of 20.39 in the semifinals. Later in 2016, at the Summer Olympics in Rio, Hortelano again broke his own national record in the Men's 200 m with a time of 20.12, but failed to qualify for the final.
On 5 September 2016 Hortelano suffered a "catastrophic hand injury" in a drunk driving car accident in Madrid, but made a full recovery with the exception of partial use of his right hand and in 2018 he established a new national record in the 200 and 400 metres.
Hortelano announced his retirement in May 2025.
