Ferdinand Berthoud (March 19, 1727 - June 20, 1807), Swiss chronometer-maker, was born at Plancemont, Neuchâtel.

Settling in Paris in 1745, he gained a great reputation for the excellence and accuracy of his marine chronometers. He was a member of the Institute and a fellow of the Royal Society of London, and among other works wrote "Essai sur l'horlogerie" (1763). He died in 1807 at Montmorency, Seine et Oise. He was succeeded in business by his nephew, Louis Berthoud (1759-1813).
