General Bartolomé Guillermo Blanche Espejo (June 6, 1879 - June 10, 1970) was a Chilean military officer and provisional president of Chile in 1932.

He was born in La Serena, where he completed his early studies. Later, he was accepted at the military academy. He had a very successful military career, and was promoted to General in 1927.

In 1932 he became Interior Minister to the provisional government of Carlos Dávila. After the later's resignation, he became Provisional Presidente on September 13, 1932. Nonetheless, the uprising of the army garrisons of Antofagasta and Concepción forced him to resign less than a month later, on October 3. He was replaced by Abraham Oyanedel, President of the Supreme Court of Justice.
