Bertrand R. Brinley (b. 19 June 1917, Hudson, New York — d. 20 October 1994, Luray, Virginia) was an American writer of short stories and children's tales. He was best known for his Mad Scientists' Club stories.

The stories in The Mad Scientists' Club originally appeared over several years in Boys' Life magazine, starting in 1961, and were later collected into book form. The Mad Scientists' Club, The New Adventures of The Mad Scientists' Club and The Big Kerplop! were first published by the now-defunct MacRae Smith Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

They have since been republished by Purple House Press in Cynthiana, Kentucky. Brinley's final work, The Big Chunk of Ice, was published posthumously in 2005 through Purple House Press by his son, Sheridan Brinley.
