Bert Emery Haney, alternately Bert Emory Haney (April 10, 1879 – September 18, 1943), was an American attorney and jurist from Oregon. A native of Oregon, he served as United States Attorney for the Oregon District before becoming a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. A Democrat, he also served on the United States Shipping Board and was an unsuccessful candidate for the United States Senate in 1926.

Bert Haney was born on April 10, 1879 in Lafayette, Yamhill County, Oregon. The son of John Haney and Mary Haney (née Harris), he attended the local public schools in Lafayette. After completing his secondary education, Haney attended Willamette University in Salem. He then graduated from the University of Oregon School of Law in 1903 with a bachelor's degree in laws. At the time the school was still located in Portland. Haney married Jessie A. Holmes on November 21, 1906.

On May 28, 1903, Haney passed the bar and was admitted to practice law by the Oregon Supreme Court. He began working for William D. Fenton in June, remaining with him for one year. On July 1, 1904, Haney was selected to serve as a deputy district attorney for Oregon's fourth judicial district, keeping the position until July 1, 1908. A Democrat, he then started a legal partnership with George W. Joseph on that day and remained in private practice until 1918.
