Bartolomeo Passerotti (also Passarotti or Passarotto)(1529-1592) was an Italian painter of the mannerist style, who worked mainly in his native Bologna.

He traveled to Rome in the mid-1500s, where he worked under Girolamo Vignola and Taddeo Zuccari. Upon returning to Bologna, he acummulated a large studio, and influenced many Bolognese who would later play a role in the rise of the Baroque. Annibale Carracci (whose brother Agostino studied with Passarotti) was influenced by Passerotti's genre scenes in a select set of paintings. Lucio Massari was one of his pupils. Bothe Passerotti's sons, including Ventura (1566-1618) were painters.
