Bernardino Butinone (c. 1450 - fl. 1507) was an Italian painter.

Born in Treviglio, he was the son of Jacopo da Treviglio.

A pupil of Vincenzo Foppa, he was tutor of Bramantino and collaborated with Bernardo Zenale. From 1491 to 1493 they executed the vault of the Grifi Chapel in San Pietro in Gessate in Milan. Their masterwork is the polyptych of San Martino in Treviglio, universally considered the most important work of the 15th century art in Lombardy, which was commissioned in 1485.

He also frescoed the pilasters of Santa Maria delle Grazie of Milan.
