Bertrand de La Tour (1265? – 1332 or 1333), also known as Bertrand de Turre, was a French Franciscan theologian and cardinal.

Bertrand was born in Camboulit in the old province of Quercy, France. Serving as a provincial minister in Aquitaine from 1312 onwards he became a leading opponent of the Franciscan Spirituals.

After the deposition of Michael of Cesena in 1328, on John XXII's behest Bertrand acted as vicar general of the Franciscan Order.

He was nicknamed "Doctor famosus".
