Bernardo Aliprandi ( ?Milan 1710c – Frankfurt 1792c) was an Italian composer and cellist.

Aliprandi first appears in the records of Ospedale dei Mendicati in Venice where he was nominated viola teacher in 1726. Another record in the same institute mentions his leave for the Bavarian court in 1732. In 1737 he succeeded Giovanni Battista Ferrandini as composer of chamber music and in 1744 he was promoted Konzertmeister. He retired in 1778. In 1791 he was living in Frankfurt. A document reports him dead by 1793.
