Cyril Anthony George Bertram (19 November, 1897 - July 1978) was a British novelist and art historian.

He resented programmes on BBC Radio and appeared as a guest on BBC television programmes, about design.

Bertram was the great-grandfather of actor Thomas Sangster. His wife, Barbara May (Randolph), was the sister of actor Hugh Grant's maternal grandmother; Barbara was descended from politician and colonial administrator Sir Evan Nepean.
