Bernard Joseph Wefers Sr. (February 19, 1873 – April 18, 1957) was an American sprint runner.

He was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts and attended Boston College before transferring to study medicine at Georgetown University.[1] During the 1890s he won numerous sprint records and was dubbed the "World's Fastest human".[2] In 1896 he set a world record in the 220 yards (200 metres) dash with a time of 21.2 seconds. This record stood until 1921, although it was tied by five other athletes. After retiring, Wefers coached track and field at NYAC for 45 years.[3]

Wefers died in 1957 in New York City.[4]
