Bernard Larson (also known as Bernhard; December 3, 1859 ) was a Swedish-born farmer and political figure in Saskatchewan, Canada. He represented Milestone in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan from 1912 to 1923 as a Liberal.
He was born in Goerlof, Sweden, the son of Andrew Larson and Hannah Anderson. Larson served five years in the Swedish Army. He moved to Dakota Territory, USA in 1878. In 1882 he married Minnie Hendrickson. Larson moved to Canada in 1902 and settled on a farm near the current location of Lang, Saskatchewan.
