Simon-Amable-Damien Bertrand (1849 – December 25, 1943[1]) was a businessman and political figure in Manitoba. He represented St. Boniface in 1900 in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal.

He was born in Chambly, Quebec and came to Winnipeg in 1878 as a representative for a dry goods firm. From 1892 to 1901, he was a director for The Great-West Life Assurance Company.[1] After being elected in 1899, Bertrand resigned his seat in the Manitoba assembly on September 6, 1900[2] to run unsuccessfully as a Liberal candidate in the federal riding of Provencher.[3]

In 1901, he was named superintendent of public works for the Yukon.[1]

He died in Montreal and was buried in the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery.[1]
