Bernt Haas (born April 8, 1978 in Vienna) is a football (soccer) defender who plays for the German club 1. FC Köln (Cologne).

Haas began his career at Grasshoppers Zurich, whom he played for for several seasons before moving to England to join Sunderland. Despite making 27 appearances for the club in 2001-02, he did not play for Sunderland during the following season and was loaned out to FC Basle.

Haas joined West Bromwich Albion in 2003, and was a regular at right-back as Albion were promoted back to the Premiership. He also scored in the 2-0 league cup win against Manchester United. However he found his chances limited in the top-flight, and left the club by mutual consent on January 21, 2005. The following day he signed for SC Bastia (France), whom he played for prior to joining Cologne.

Haas played for the Swiss national team at Euro 2004 and was sent off in the match against England.
