Bernhard Dunker (22 May 1809 – 28 July 1870) was a Norwegian jurist, barrister and Attorney General of Norway.

He was a brother of Vilhelmine Ullmann, and nephew of astronomer Christopher Hansteen.

He married Edle Jasine Theodore Grundt in 1839, and among their children was writer and feminist Mathilde Schjøtt.

His written works include Om den norske Constitution (1845), Om Revision af Foreningsakten mellem Sverige og Norge and Reise til Tellemarken og til Arendal sommeren 1852.
