Bartolomé Martínez González (1860[1] in Jinotega – 30 January, 1936 in Matagalpa) was a Nicaraguan politician from the Conservative Party. He was a coffee grower. He served as Vice President of Nicaragua from January, 1921 to October, 1923.[2] After the death of Diego Manuel Chamorro, and after a brief period of 15 days where the Interior Minister, Rosendo Chamorro Oreamuno held office, while waiting for Martínez to return to the capital, he was sworn in to serve the remainder of Chamorro's term as President of Nicaragua from 27 October, 1923 to 1 January, 1925.[3]

In a short time, he recovered on behalf of the national government the Customs Office, the Central Bank and the Railroad of Nicaragua, which were in the hands of the American bankers Brown and Seligman. He formed a National Government, including the Liberals.[3]
