Saint Bartholomew's Church, Dublin, is a Church of Ireland (Anglican) parish church located on Clyde Road in Ballsbridge on the Southside of Dublin.

Saint Bartholomew's Church, Clyde Road, was consecrated in 1867. Many of its original features are intact, such as the sanctuary mosaics and the elaborate wrought iron choir screen. The architect was Thomas Henry Wyatt. The rectory was built in 1872 by the architect James Edward Rogers.

According to 'An Irishman's Diary' on P. 15 of The Irish Times on Saturday, June 23rd, 2012, the parents of Alan Turing, O.B.E., F.R.S., were married in the church in October 1907. They were Julius Turing (1873–1947) and Ethel Stoney (1881–1976).

The church is the focal point of the civil parish of the same name in the barony of Dublin.

Saint Bartholomew's Church maintains a liturgical tradition that is broadly related to that of the Anglo-Catholic tradition. Anglo-Catholicism distinguishes that section or party of the Anglican Communion which stems from the Tractarian Movement of the 1830s. (This movement was centred in Oxford and included such influential figures as John Henry Newman, one of the prime movers in the founding of University College, Dublin.) Anglo-Catholics hold a 'high' doctrine of the Church and the sacraments; they attach great importance to the apostolic succession, that is, to an episcopal order derived from the apostles; to the historical continuity of the existing Church with the Church of the earliest centuries; and to the Church's ultimate independence of the State.
