Bernadette Castro (b. 1944, Manhattan, New York) is a New York politician and businesswoman who served in the Cabinet of former Governor George Pataki. She was the heir and former President and Chief Executive Officer of Castro Convertibles, a sofa business in New Hyde Park, New York. Castro sold the company to Krause Furniture in 1993.

Bernadette Castro recorded several singles in the 1960s including all-time favorite girl group record, "A Girl In Love Forgives." This is one of the few obscure girl group records that can compete with the Shangri Las' and Ronettes' unparalleled track records. She released an additional single on Colpix called "Sports Car Sally," popular among many girl group collectors for its hot-rod theme.

Castro attended the University of Florida earning a B.S. degree in Broadcast Journalism and a graduate degree in Secondary School Administration with Phi Kappa Phi honors. In 1985 she became the first woman to receive the University of Florida’s Distinguished Service Alumni Award.
