Bernard Purdie (born April 20, 1949 in Wrexham, Wales) was a former professional footballer who played as a striker for his hometown club Wrexham before making the short journey across the border to join English neighbours Chester City in 1971. Two years later he switched to Cheshire rivals Crewe Alexandra, for the first of two spells with the club. In between he helped Huddersfield Town win the Football League Division Four championship in 1979-80.
After finishing his league career with Crewe in 1983, Purdie joined non-league side Bangor City.
