M. Elizabeth C. Bartlet (1948–2005) was a leading scholar of French music from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Her exemplary research was centered in Paris, where she was a commanding and beloved presence in the libraries and archives. Her scholarly edition of Rossini's Guillaume Tell represented the first satisfactory solution of one of the thorniest source problems of its chronological era, and is now in general use internationally.

Bartlet was professor of music at Duke University and, at her death, a director of the American Musicological Society.

The Bartlet Fund was established in 2005 by an ad hoc committee consisting of Annegret Fauser (University of North Carolina), Jane Fulcher (Indiana University), Philip Gossett (University of Chicago), Bruce Gustafson (chair; Franklin & Marshall College), and Lesley Wright (University of Hawaii).
