Bernard Ukeiwé (24 June 1953 - 23 July 2008) was a New Caledonian politician and footballer. The son of former senator Dick Ukeiwé, he played for the New Caledonia national football team. A Kanak, he opposed independence from France.

In 2007, he was elected deputy to MP Gaël Yanno, and in March 2008 became deputy mayor of Nouméa.{{Cite news |date=4 September 2013 |title=Disparition ce mercredi matin de l'ancien sénateur de Nouvelle-Calédonie Dick Ukeiwë |url=https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/nouvellecaledonie/2013/09/04/disparition-mercredi-matin-de-l-ancien-senateur-de-nouvelle-caledonie-dick-ukeiwe-66015.html |access-date=2024-07-10 |work=franceinfo}} He died of a heart attack four months later.
