Bermondsey (also known as St. Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey) was a parish in the metropolitan area of London, England.

The ancient parish was part of Hundred of Brixton and County of Surrey. In 1855 it was included in the area of responsibility of the Metropolitan Board of Works. The act establishing the MBW also incorporated a new elected local authority for the parish known as "The Vestry of the Parish of Bermondsey in the County of Surrey". [18 & 19 Vict. c.120, S.42]

In 1889 the area of the Metropolitan Board was constituted the County of London, and Bermondsey was transferred to the new county. In 1900 the County of London was divided into twenty-eight metropolitan boroughs, and the parish became the Metropolitan Borough of Bermondsey, with the borough council replacing the vestry.

The population of the parish in 1896 was 84,632 and it had adopted the Public Libraries Act 1850 in 1887. For electoral purposes the parish was divided into four wards and had 120 elected vestrymen.
