Bernhard Klee (born 19 April 1936) is a German conductor, originally from Schleiz, in Thuringia. Trained as a member of the Thomanerchor, he has since conducted many of Europe's most prestigious orchestras including the Vienna Philharmonic and State Philharmonic of Rheinland-Palatinate.

He was married to the Swiss soprano Edith Mathis.
