Barry K. Barnes (born Nelson Barry Mackintosh Barnes; 27 December 1906 – 12 January 1965) was an English film and stage actor.

He played Sir Percy Blakeney in the 1937 film Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel. His film career was cut short in 1947 due to an undiagnosable illness contracted during the war.
