St Bartholomew's Church is a redundant Anglican church in the village of Richard's Castle, Herefordshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building,[1] and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It stands close to the castle of the same name as the village, which was built to command this part of the Welsh Marches.[2] The village is partly in Shropshire and the county boundary is not far from the church.

Notably, the tower is detached from the main body of the church, and stands about 11 yards (10 m) to its east.[3]
