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.
