Liam Bern (born 6 March 2003) is a South African soccer player who plays as a defender for Cape Town Spurs in the Premier Soccer League.

Bern came through the academy of what was then called Ajax Cape Town, joining from Tableview at age 9. His first training session with the senior team of Cape Town Spurs came when he was 15, and he was moved up to the senior team in 2021. Here, he played two seasons in the National First Division, gaining promotion to the 2023–24 South African Premier Division.

In 2022, Bern went on trial with KV Mechelen in Belgium. He also helped launch a charity campaign called "Blikkies and Boots", aimed at donating sports gear and nutritional goods for the club Blikkiesdorp United FC.

During the 2023–24 Premier Division, Bern was moved from left back to defensive midfield. The manager Ernst Middendorp who took over during the season wanted Bern more centrally in the field.
