Joseph Barker (October 191751—July 51815) was an American Congregationalist minister who represented Massachusetts's 7th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from March 1805 to March 1809.
Born in Branford, Connecticut, Barker attended the common schools in Branford, studied for two years at Harvard College, and was graduated (with a degree in theology) from Yale College in 1771. He was licensed to preach on January 31775, ordained to the ministry on December 51781, and subsequently installed as pastor of the First Congregational Church of Middleboro, Massachusetts.
Barker was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Ninth and Tenth Congresses and served from March 41805 to March 31809. He was not a candidate for renomination in 1808, but four years later served as a member of the state's House of Representatives in 1812 and 1813.
Joseph Barker continued in the ministry at Middleboro, Massachusetts until his death at the age of 63. Interment was in Green Cemetery.
