Carl Jerome "Jerry" Barber (April 25, 1916 – September 23, 1994) was an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour.

Barber was born in Woodson, Illinois, and was one of nine children raised on a Jacksonville, Illinois farm.[1] He turned professional in 1942. Among his seven tour victories, was the 1961 PGA Championship at Olympia Fields Country Club. Trailing Don January by four shots with three holes to play in the final round, Barber made a 20-foot birdie putt at the 16th hole, a 40-foot par-saving putt at 17, and a 60-foot birdie putt at 18 to tie January and force a playoff, which Barber won the next day by one stroke.

Barber was a full-time member of the PGA Tour from 1948 to 1962. He played on two Ryder Cup teams, 1955 and 1961; and was also the team captain in 1961.[2] Barber earned a living primarily as a club professional like most of the touring pros of his generation; he worked at Los Angeles' Wilshire Country Club.[1]

Barber holds the record for the oldest player to ever play on the PGA Tour, when he played in the 1994 Buick Invitational at the age of 77 years, 10 months, and 9 days.[3]

Barber was often referred to in the media as "little Jerry Barber," because he stood five feet, five inches.[4] In 1966, he portrayed himself in a guest appearance on episode #23 of I Dream of Jeannie.

Barber and his wife Lucile, who died of cancer in 1968, had five children: Tom, Nancy, twins Sandra and Sally, and Roger. Barber died in Glendale, California at the age of 78, after suffering a mitral valve prolapse and a stroke.[2]
