Bernardo Germán de Llórente (1685-1757) was a Spanish painter of the late-Baroque period.

Born and died in Seville. He was a pupil of Cristóbal López, painter of la Feria. Llorente worked in a style resembling Murillo. Father Isidoro de Sevilla, a capuchin missionary, commissioned from him a Virgin in shepherd dress. This painting brought him fame and many similar requests. He was asked by the Queen Isabel Farnese to paint a portrait of her son, the prince. Later invited to join the Academia Real de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.
