Helmut Bartenstein (born January 21, 1914 in Eilenburg ; † November 3, 2010 in Celle ) was a German micropalaeontologist and petroleum geologist.
Bartenstein grew up in Frankfurt am Main and studied geology, mineralogy and paleontology there from 1932 and received his doctorate in 1937 under Rudolf Richter (micropalaeontological studies on the stratigraphy of the north-west German Dogger). During the Second World War he was a military geologist and from 1946 a petroleum geologist at the Deutsche Vacuum Oil Company in Celle (later part of Mobil Oil). In 1979 he retired there. After his retirement he taught at the Technical University of Braunschweig until 1983 .
