Bartolomeo I della Scala (died 7 or 8 March 1304) was lord of Verona from 1301, a member of the Scaliger family and protector of Dante during his exile from Florence. ^[1]

Bartolomeo was a son of Alberto I della Scala, who during his rule (1277–1301) established Scaliger rule over Verona as a hereditary lordship. ^[2] Possibly as early as 1293, Alberto associated Bartolomeo with him in ruling the city. As a result, when Alberto died in 1301, Bartolomeo immediately succeeded him as "Captain and Rector" of the gastalds and people of Verona. ^[2] During his brief rule, Bartolomeo further consolidated Scaliger control, depriving the council of the guilds from its last remaining authority. ^[3]

He had married in 1291 Costanza di Antiochia, daughter of Corrado d'Antiochia.

Bartolomeo died on 7 or 8 March 1304 and was succeeded by his brother Alboino. ^[3]
