St Bartholomew's on Chorão in Goa is a Roman Catholic church. Members of the Society of Jesus built it in 1569, and in 1597 it passed to the diocesan clergy.
Its parish takes in two villages, Caraim and the Passo de Ambarim. The river of Mapusa bounds it to the north and west, with the parishes of Aldona and Pomburpa across the water, while Our Lady of Grace parish adjoins it to the south. Eastward is the river Naroa, beyond which lies Pedade parish on Divar.
