Bernard Sydney Bloodworth (13 December 1893 – 19 February 1967) was an English cricketer. He played for Gloucestershire between 1919 and 1932.

A middle- and lower-order batsman who often kept wicket, Bloodworth was a natural hitter whose attacking approach often led to his dismissal. He made 115, his only century, against Essex in May 1925.

After retiring from playing, Bloodworth served as a scorer for Gloucestershire. He became Gloucestershire's head groundsman from 1950 until his retirement in 1965. He died in 1967 at the age of 73.
