Bernard de Girard Haillan (c.1535–1610) was a French historian.
He was born in Bordeaux and occupied a number of political offices before Charles IX appointed him historiographer of France. He was confirmed as historiographer by Henry III, who liked him so well that he made him genealogist of the Order of the Holy Spirit, and gave him a pension of 1200 crowns.
