Bartolomeu de Quental, C.O. (22 August 1626 – 20 December 1698) was a Portuguese Catholic priest, theologian, and preacher. Quental was the founder of the first Congregation of the Oratory of Saint Philip in Portugal in 1668. The cause for his canonisation was officially opened c. 1720. In 1748, Pope Benedict XIV officially recognised that Quental had lived a life of "heroic virtue", and he has since been referred to as "venerable", although the cause for his beatification has lain dormant since the time of the Marquis of Pombal and the weakening of the Congregation of the Oratory in Portugal.
