David Henry Bartleet (11 April 1929 – 1 November 2002) was a British Anglican bishop. From 1982 to 1993, he was the fourth Bishop of Tonbridge, a suffragan bishop in the Diocese of Rochester.[1]

He was educated at St Edward's School, Oxford[2] and St Peter's Hall.[3] Ordained in 1957 after a period of study at Westcott House, Cambridge, he began his ordained ministry with a curacy at St Mary-le-Tower, Ipswich.[4] He was made deacon at Michaelmas 1957 at St Edmundsbury Cathedral[5] and ordained priest the following Michaelmas (1958) at All Saints' Church, Ipswich — both times by Arthur Morris, Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich.[6]

From here he took a second curacy as curate-in-charge of St Edmund's Church in the parish of St George's, Doncaster, 1960–1964.[2] He then served as vicar of Edenbridge (until 1973)[7] and then of Bromley[8] before being appointed to the episcopate; at Bromley he was additionally appointed an honorary canon of Rochester Cathedral from 1979 (which honour he kept alongside his suffragan See).[9] He was appointed to serve as Bishop suffragan of Tonbridge;[10] he served until he retired in 1993.[2] He was consecrated a bishop on 23 October 1982, by Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury, at Canterbury Cathedral.[11]

He was the son of Edmund Arthur Bartleet and Helen née Holford. In 1956, he married Jean Mary née Rees; together, they had one son and two daughters.[2]
