Bernard Charles Beale (10 September 1830 – 16 January 1910) was a New Zealand doctor and local body politician.
Born in England, he was a licenced surgeon assistant and also worked as a ship's surgeon before emigrating with his wife to New Zealand in 1861.
He set up practice in Nelson before moving to Auckland and being commissioned in the Waikato Militia.
He was given a land grant in Hamilton at the end of his military service and settled there with his wife.
He practiced medicine, acted as a coroner, and became involved in local body politics.
He served a brief but tempestuous term from March to December 1880 as the 4th mayor of Hamilton.
He later moved back to Auckland, where he died in 1910 at the age of 79.
