Bernhard Peter Schott (9 August 1748 – 26 April 1809) was a German clarinetist and music publisher.

On 14 June 1780, he was appointed court music printer to Charles Frederick, Grand Duke of Baden (1728–1811), with exclusive rights; perhaps an unusual appointment, because in 1780 Mainz was the seat of the Electorate of Mainz, a state next to but distinct from the Grand Duchy of Baden.

He published, among other things, first editions of piano reductions of Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail (1785) and Don Giovanni (1791), works by Johann Franz Xaver Sterkel and Antonio Rosetti, and salon music.

During the political upheavals associated with the Napoleonic Wars, which included the overthrow of the Electorate of Mainz by the short-lived Republic of Mainz (1793), its reinstatement, its further overthrow by the Cisrhenian Republic (1797), its further reinstatement, and the abolition not only of the Electorate but of the Holy Roman Empire itself (1806), he dealt, in addition to music, in stationery, paper and wine.

After his death, his sons continued the music business under the name B. Schotts Söhne, and expanded it across Europe.
