Bernard Vincent Scrymgour (31 July 1864 – 16 April 1943) was a cricketer and administrator who played first-class cricket for South Australia from 1891 to 1897.

Bernard Scrymgour was educated at Prince Alfred College, Adelaide. After a modest playing career at state level he became a prominent cricket administrator. He was a member of the committee of the South Australian Cricket Association for almost 50 years, and president from 1928 to 1940. He also served as a state selector, and was for a time chairman of the Australian Cricket Board.{{cite news | last=Baillie|first=E. H.
