Bartholomew Joseph Eustace (October 9, 1887—December 11, 1956) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He was Bishop of Camden from 1937 until his death.

Bartholomew Eustace was born in Manhattan to Irish immigrants Bartholomew and Elizabeth Eustace. After attending St. Francis Xavier College and St. Joseph's Seminary, he completed his theological studies at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. He was ordained to the priesthood in Rome on November 1, 1914, and was appointed the first Bishop of Camden by Pope Pius XI on December 16, 1937. He received his episcopal consecration on March 25, 1938 from Patrick Cardinal Hayes, with Bishops Edward Kelly and Stephen Donohue serving as co-consecrators. He was installed on the following May 4, in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception; during his installation, Eustace dedicated the diocese to the Virgin Mary.

He was diagnosed with diabetes in early 1941, and later suffered three heart attacks (in 1950, 1951, and 1955). Eustace, now confined to his bed, died in his episcopal residence at Haddonfield, at age 69.

Bishop Eustace Preparatory School, a coeducational private high school in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey, is named in his honor.
