Bernard Nevill FRSA FCSD (born 24 September 1934) is a British designer and academic, formerly a professor at Saint Martin's School of Art and Design Director for Liberty of London.

Nevill lived at West House, a Grade II* listed house at 35 Glebe Place, Chelsea, London, which he bought in 1970 for about £80,000, until he sold it in 2011 for £20 million. It was built in 1868-1869 by the architect Philip Webb, on behalf of the artist George Price Boyce, who lived there from 1870 until his death in 1897.

His paintings, furniture and furnishings, which appeared in the 1987 film Withnail and I and 1998 film B. Monkey were auctioned by Christie's in 2011, and were expected to realise about £200,000. The sale total was actually £471,400.
