Bernard Lenoble (16 December 1902 – 19 November 1997) was a French footballer who played as a defender for Le Havre and the French national team in the 1920s.

Playing career Born on 16 December 1902 in Le Havre, Lenoble began his football career at his hometown club Le Havre AC in 1919, aged 17.

In 1921, Lenoble went to Rennes to complete his studies, and while there, he joined the ranks of Stade Rennais, where he once again had an immediate impact on the team as in his first season there, together with Charles Berthelot, George Scoones, and Maurice Gastiger, he helped the club reach the 1922 Coupe de France final, which ended in a 2–0 loss to Red Star. He thus became the first player to lose two Coupe de France finals with two different clubs, doing so two years apart. In the following day, the journalists of the French newspaper L'Auto (currently L'Équipe) stated that "Lenoble is indecisive and takes too long to disengage".

Death Lenoble died in Le Havre on 19 November 1997, at the age of 94.
