Kenneth St. Bernard ( 1920s – 19 December 2002), known as Dictator or Mighty Dictator, was a Trinidadian calypso singer and musician.
By the late 1940s, St. Bernard was a prominent composer and performer of calypso songs, including "The Female Cricketer" (1948), "The Tobago Girl and the Mirror", "Negroes Keep Together" (both 1949), and "My Trip to Hollywood" (1950). In 1950, the song "Last Train to San Fernando", which he performed and co-wrote, was played in the Trinidad and Tobago Carnival Road March.
