Bertil Nordahl (26 July 1917 – 1 December 1998) was a Swedish football player and manager who played as a midfielder.
He played for Degerfors IF and Atalanta B.C.. He won the gold medal at the 1948 Summer Olympics, along with his brothers Knut and Gunnar Nordahl.
After the Olympics, he and Gunnar transferred to Italy and, due to being in a professional football league while the Swedish football was all amateur, they were not called to the 1950 FIFA World Cup.
He was capped 15 times for the Sweden national football team.
After his playing career, he coached Örebro SK and IK Brage.
