Bertha (Betsy) Bakker-Nort (Groningen, 8 May 1874 - Utrecht, 23 May 1946) was a Dutch feminist, lawyer, and politician.
In 1895, Nort became involved with the feminist movement, and set up a department of the Vereeniging voor Vrouwenkiesrecht (VvVK) in Groningen, partly inspired by the experiences she had had in Scandinavia.
Thanks in part to her efforts, women's suffrage was introduced in 1919.
