Richard Barry (born 4 September 1919) is a former Irish Fine Gael politician.

A publican before entering politics, he first stood for election in the Cork East constituency in a 1951 general election, but was unsuccessful. He was first elected to Dáil Éireann in a by-election in 1953 following the death of the Labour Party Teachta Dála (TD) Seán Keane.cite web |url=http://oireachtas.ie/members-hist/default.asp?MemberFirstName=Richard&MemberName=Barry&restr=0&disp=src&housetype=&HouseNum=&ConstID=|title=Richard Barry|work=Oireachtas Members Database |accessdate=2008-01-31] He was re-elected at each subsequent election until he was retired at the 1981 general election.

He was appointed a Parliamentary Secretary by the Taoiseach Liam Cosgrave and served at the Department of Health from 1973–77. His daughter Myra Barry was elected in a by-election in 1979 for the same constituency of Cork North East. This is the only time a parent and child have been represented in the same constituency in the same Dáil.
