Ferdinando Bertoni (Salò,1725 - Desenzano del Garda, 1st December, 1813) was an Italian composer and organist.

A prolific writer of church music, Bertoni also composed many operas, the most famous of which is his 1776 setting of Ranieri de' Calzabigi's libretto for Orfeo ed Euridice, originally set to music by Gluck in 1762. Bertoni generally ignored Gluck's reforms and composed the work in the old style of opera seria.
