Bartolomé Jaimes (c. 1522 – 14 November 1603) was a Spanish nobleman who served in the conquest of Peru, Chile and Tucumán.

[2] He was born in Ayamonte, Huelva (Spain), the son of Alonso González Jaimes and Marina Sánchez, belonging to a noble family originally from Andalusia.

[10] On May 17, 1579, Bartolomé Jaimes received land grants in Córdoba,[11] including the village of Ansenuza,[12] and Caroya, where he requested permission to establish a cattle ranch.

[16] His son, Juan Jaimes Fernández was married to Juana Chiclana Navarro,[17] daughter of Diego Chiclana (soldier) and Luisa Navarro Estebáñez de Cevallos, belonging to a noble family from Buenos Aires of Basque origin (related to Coutinho de Mendoza).
