Baldassare Cagliares (c. 1575 – 4 August 1633) was a Maltese Roman Catholic prelate who was the Bishop of Malta from 1615 until his death.

Baldassare Cagliares was born in Valletta in around 1575; this year is approximate and the exact day and month are not known.

Cagliares was appointed as Bishop of Malta by Pope Paul V in 1615, when he was 40 years old.

[2] During his episcopate, he built the Bishop's Palace in Valletta[3] and numerous residences in various localities around Malta such as in Żejtun, the Cittadella in Gozo and Buskett.

[4] [5] Cagliares also established a number of parishes such as that of Qrendi in 1618[6] and restored the parish of Dingli by appointing a rector for the local church of the village which was left without a priest for a number of years.
