Kevin Barry (born June 4, 1951) is an American playwright known for works including "In Rebel Country", "Distracted by the Landscape", "Track & Field", "A Note on the Type", and "theboysroom". He was born in New York City and is a member of the Dramatists Guild. Barry received an Ohio Arts Council Grant for "In Rebel Country" and an American Theatre Critics nomination for outstanding play of 2002 for "Track & Field". His work has been developed and produced in close association with Moving Arts in Los Angeles, California and The Know Theatre of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Kevin Barry's ability to identify human interest and relationships has carried him through his career. His work on Track & Field in particular was exemplary of his ability to take archetypes and narrow their focus using a clever ploy.
