Santi Bartolomeo ed Alessandro dei Bergamaschi is a small baroque church on Piazza Colonna in Rome, beside Palazzo Wedekind. Founded in 1591 as a chapel for the Ospedale dei Pazzarelli, Rome's first insane asylum, it was rebuilt in 1731–35 to designs by Giuseppe Valvassori for the Archiconfraternità dei Bergamaschi, who added their patron saint to its dedication. It is the burial place of Cardinal Giuseppe Alessandro Furietti.
