Bertha Wehnert-Beckmann (25 January 1815 – 6 December 1901) was a German photographer.She appears to have been Germany's first professional female photographer, and was possibly also the first professional female photographer in the world, being active a few years prior to Brita Sofia Hesselius and Geneviève Élisabeth Disdéri.

Together with her husband, she opened a studio in Leipzig in 1843 and ran the business herself from his death in 1847.
