Prince Charles Smith Bartholomew (9 October 1939  - 25 April 2017) was a Trinidad cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1969 to 1978.[1]

An opening bowler and middle-order batsman, Bartholomew made his first-class debut in 1968-69. He had his most successful season with both bat and ball in 1970-71, scoring 325 runs at an average of 40.62[2] and taking 27 wickets at 21.96.[3] He scored 95 not out and 53 not out for Trinidad against Guyana in the Shell Shield, which Trinidad won.[4] Captaining East Trinidad in the Beaumont Cup, he took 5 for 35, 4 for 29, 2 for 33 and 2 for 73, as well as top-scoring in the final with 82,[5] to lead East Trinidad to the title in their first season in the competition.

Captaining North and East Trinidad in their first match in the Beaumont Cup in 1975-76, he took 8 for 27,[6] which remain the best figures in the competition.

Bartholomew captained Trinidad in the 1975-76 season, when they shared the Shell Shield title with Barbados, and captained East Trinidad in most of their first-class matches from 1971 to 1979.
