Bernhard von Wickede (* 1705 on the Tolkschuby estate in the Duchy of Schleswig ; † December 3, 1776 in Lübeck ) was mayor of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Bernhard von Wickede was born on the estate of his father Konrad von Wickede in fishing and was a cousin of Lübeck councilor Gotthard Gottschalk von Wickede (1684–1737). Bernhard was brought up in Lübeck in the house of the related cathedral dean Johann von Wickede and then moved to the universities of Rostock and Jena to study law. Then he sought the first reference to the practice at the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Wetzlar and also traveled to the Netherlands. In 1737 he became a citizen of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and in 1738 a member of the already very small circle society , which at that time actually only consisted of members of the family associations of Wickede and von Brömbsen. In 1757 Bernhard von Wickede was elected to the city council, where he worked in betting and finance. In 1773 he was appointed mayor and treasurer in the council .

The pedagogue Friedrich Bernhard von Wickede was his son.
