Bartholomäus (Barthel) Schink (; November 27, 1927 – November 10, 1944) was a member of the Edelweiss Pirates, active in the Ehrenfeld Group ( Ehrenfeld is a district of Cologne) in Cologne, which resisted the Nazi regime. He was among the 13 members of that group who were publicly hanged in Cologne by the Gestapo on 10 November 1944.

The street in the Ehrenfeld suburb of Cologne, next to the Ehrenfeld railway station where Schink was hanged, is named after Schink.
