Bartholomew Joseph Eustace (October 9, 1887—December 11, 1956) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Camden from 1938 until his death in 1956.
Bartholomew Eustace was born on the Lower East Side of Manhattan to Bartholomew Ambrose and Elizabeth (née Nolan) Eustace, who were Irish immigrants. After graduating St. Francis Xavier College in 1910, he attended St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers and completed his theological studies at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. While in Rome, Eustace was ordained to the priesthood on November 1, 1914. He earned his doctorate in theology the following year from the College of the Propaganda.
Upon his return to New York in 1915, he served as a curate at Blessed Sacrament Church in New Rochelle until 1916, when he became a professor of philosophy and liturgy at St. Joseph's Seminary. He later returned to Blessed Sacrament as its pastor in 1921.
