The Hundred of Bartlett is a cadastral hundred of South Australia located in the remote County of Way. It was created in 1889.

History
The traditional owners of the area were the Wirangu Aboriginal people and the first European to sight the area was Dutch explorer Pieter Nuyts in 1627 in the Gulden Zeepaard. In 1802 Matthew Flinders came past the district whilst on his voyage in the Investigator,.

The Hundred of Bartlett (together with the Hundreds of Moule, Horn and Catt) were surveyed for closer settlement by William Richard Murray, E B Jones and H J Cant between Nov. 1888 and June 1889.
