Bernard Berisha (born 24 October 1991) is an Kosovo Albanian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Russian club Terek Grozny and the Kosovo national team.
Berisha followed Fatjon Sefa from Besa Kavajë to reigning Albanian champions Skënderbeu Korçë, where he agreed a one-year contract with the club president Ardian Takaj on 27 May 2014. He made his debut with Skënderbeu in the second leg of the Champions League second qualifying round against Belarusian side BATE Borisov. Berisha was in the starting lineup but was replaced in the 60th minute by Andi Ribaj in the 1–1 draw, which saw BATE Borisov go through on away goals after a goalless first leg. He won the Albanian Supercup in his next game with the club, coming on at half time for fellow Kosovar Albanian Leonit Abazi at half time in the 1–0 win over Flamurtari Vlorë.
On 23 August 2014, Berisha made his Albanian Superliga debut with Skënderbeu at Qemal Stafa Stadium, playing the entire match against the newly promoted club KF Elbasani, helping the team to win the match 1–0. His Albanian Cup debut would come later, in October against Himara, playing in two legged match, scoring a goal in each of them, with Skënderbeu who passed the round with the aggregate 20–1.
