Bartlemy is a small village and townland in County Cork.[1] It is located in the civil parish of Gortroe close to the town of Rathcormac.

The name of the village is from the dedication of the local parish and 'holy well' to St Bartholomew. The Irish-language name is Tobar Pártnáin, meaning 'Well of Pártnán (Bartholomew)'.[2]

The local Roman Catholic church is dedicated to Saint Bartholomew and was built around 1820.[3] A "holy well", dedicated to the same saint, is located to the south-west.

The village's former post office (built around 1860) closed in 1991.[4]
