Andrija Betlehem (1879–1943) was member of the "Doglavnik's Council" () of the Main Ustaša Headquarters, the ruling body of the Ustaša party in the Independent State of Croatia.
Betlehem was born on 19 November 1879 in Peteranec into a Jewish family. His occupation was tillage. He was known as a supporter of Josip Frank. He lived near Hungarian border and established a channel for transport of Ustaše from Croatia to their training camp in Janka Pusta. On 16 July 1941 he was appointed on the position of doglavnik and on 23 February 1942 he became a member of the newly created Croatian assembly ().:"BETLEHEM, Andrija, doglavnik (Peteranec, 19. XI. 1879. — Rasinja, 1943.). Bavio se ratarstvom. U rodnom kraju poznat kao frankovac. Živeći nedaleko od granice s Madžarskom, održavao punkt preko kojega su išle neke od ustaških....." Appointment of Betlehem and Lešić as Deputies of Poglavnik was additional step of the policy of appointing numerous Ustaše peasants to leading positions in Croatia considered as "country of peasants" in Ustaše ideology.:"....Ustaša naglašavao kao osobito značajan podatak da među imenovanim logornicima i tabornicima ima 90% seljaka. Nov korak učinjen je imenovanjem seljaka ustaša u Doglavničko vijeće (Andrija Betlehem i Luka Lešić)."
In November 1943 the communist forces captured Betlehem, sentenced him to death and executed him near Rasinja.
