Herman Bernstein (September 21, 1876 – August 31, 1935) was an American journalist, writer, translator, and diplomat.

Herman Bernstein was born on September 21, 1876, in Vladislavov (Russian: Владиславов, German: Neustadt-Schirwindt, Yiddish: Naishtot) at that time on the Russo-German border to David and Marie Bernstein. In 1893, he emigrated to the United States, where he completed his education and married Sophie Friedman on December 31, 1901.

His first stories were published in 1900. He contributed to the New York Evening Post, The Nation, The Independent, and Ainslee's Magazine. He was the founder and editor of The New London Day and an editor of the The Jewish Tribune and of the Jewish Daily Bulletin. As a correspondent of the New York Times, Bernstein regularly travelled to Europe. In 1915, he went to Europe to document the situation of Jews in the war zones. He documented the Russian Revolution in 1917 for the New York Herald, which led him to both Siberia and Japan with the American Expeditionary Forces. He also covered the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 for the same newspaper.

In 1921 Bernstein published a book History of a Lie, an account of the notorious forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
