Bellarmino Camillo Bagatti (November 11, 1905 - October 7, 1990) was a 20th-century archaeologist and Catholic priest of the Franciscan Order.

Among his writings are:

Excavations in Nazareth. Vol. II. From the 12th century until Today

The church from the circumcision: history and archaeology of the Judaeo-Christians.

Among the discoveries Bagatti made are:

that the town now known as Nazareth was no more than a small hamlet in the 1st century. John Dominic Crossan remarks that looking at the plans drawn up by Bagatti...one realizes just how small the village actually was

His thesis of the Church of Zion, Jerusalem (1976) gained the support of Emmanuel Testa but is not generally accepted by the majority of archeologists.
