Bertram Victor "Bert" Ralphs (1896 – 1944) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Blackburn Rovers, Chesterfield, Crewe Alexandra and Stoke.
Ralphs had an interesting career as a 'fast and enterprising winger' who occasionally played as in inside-forward. He began playing football just before World War I with his works team Dennison's before he turned out for Reading and Nuneaton. After the end of the conflict Ralphs turned professional and signed for Blackburn Rovers. He played in 40 league matches scoring six goals for Rovers before being signed by Stoke in 1922.
