San Bartolomeo (Bartholomew the Apostle) is a church in Marne, Italy. It was an independent parish until the village of Marne became a municipality.

It is a building of the first half of 12th century; today only the apse of the original structure survives. The architectural structure of the building has a nave culminating in the apse that contains some frescoes whose age is difficult to determine.

The church underwent some renovations and expansion in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The apse was restored between 1984 and 1988.
