The Church of Saint Bartholomew, also known as Knin Cathedral, was a 13th-century Catholic cathedral in Kapitul, near the city of Knin, Croatia. It was constructed on the site of an earlier Benedictine monastery, and became the seat of the diocese of Knin. It fell into disrepair in the 16th century, and was demolished during World War II by Italian troops.
