Bernard Joseph Doyle (9 April 1888 – 12 December 1977) was an Irish cyclist who competed for Ireland in two events at the 1912 Summer Olympics.[1]

At the 1912 Olympics England, Scotland and Ireland entered separate teams, to the chagrin of France, which made an objection the day before the race, which was turned down.[2]

Doyle was born in Wexford and worked as a clerk in Dublin, where his family lived in Glasnevin. He was the last of the eight finishers in the six-man Ireland team in the team road race at the 1912 Olympics. In those Games, a few weeks after the Stockholm Games, Doyle won the Stevens Cup for the 50-mile handicap race organised by the Irish Road Club. He was the second fastest overall in 2-41:08, but won thanks to receiving a handicap of six seconds.[3]
