Šimon Bárta or Simon Barta (27 October 1864, Žimutice near Týn nad Vltavou - 2 May 1940, Budweis) was a Czech Roman Catholic bishop.

Life

He was ordained priest on 16 March 1889 in Rome. After acting as chaplain at Sedlitz for a time, he worked as a catechist in Budweis and Pelhřimov. After the death of the previous bishop of Budweis, on 16 December 1920 pope Benedict XV appointed Barta as his successor. He was consecrated bishop on 20 February 1921 in the cathedral at Budweis by František Kordač, bishop of Prague. In 1938 the Munich Agreement removed Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. Most of the Germans in that territory were initially managed via an Episcopal Commissariat and with effect from 1 January 1940 the parts of the diocese of Budweis lying across the border were divided between the German dioceses of Linz, St. Pölten, Passau and Regensburg, with their diocesan bishops acting as administrators for them. This effectively suspended the diocese of Budweis - after Barta's death it remained vacant until 1947.
