Sir John Barrington, 3rd Baronet (1605 – 24 March 1683) was an English lawyer and politician.

The son of Sir Thomas Barrington, Bt and Francis Gobert, he was called to the Bar, Gray's Inn. Knighted in Whitehall on 8 May 1638, he succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1644. Barrington was Member of Parliament (MP) for Newtown from 1645 to 1648 and from 1660 to 1679. Between 1654 to 1655, he was High Sheriff of Essex and High Sheriff of Hertfordshire. He was chosen to be one of the High Court Judges in the trial of King Charles I, but refused then to take part in its meetings and did not sign the warrant for the king's execution. He died intestate and was buried in Hatfield Broadoak in Essex on 3 April 1683.

Barrington was married to Dorothy Lytton, daughter of Sir William Lytton. They had two children, one son and one daughter. He was succeeded by his grandson John Barrington.
