Bettina Liano is an Australian fashion designer and eponymous womenswear label. Launched in 1986 in Melbourne, Liano closed majority of its Australian stores in 2013, instead choosing to focus on the United States market.[1] The first US store was opened in New York City in the SoHo district, with further stores slated to open in Chicago, San Francisco and Miami. She criticised the Australian market, calling it fashion challenged and believed she had "outgrown Melbourne". One Australian store remains in Sydney.

She is the sister of The Real Housewives of Melbourne cast member Gina Liano.
