Barry Siddall (born 12 September, 1954 in Ellesmere Port, England) is an English former professional football goalkeeper.

Siddall began his career with Bolton Wanderers in 1972. In four years with the Burnden Park club he made 137 league appearances.

In 1976, he moved north-east to join Sunderland. He made 167 league appearances for Jimmy Adamson's men, with a loan spell at Darlington during the 1980–81 season.

In 1982, Siddall signed for Port Vale, and went on to make 81 league appearances for them in two years. During the 1983–84 campaign, he was loaned to Sam Ellis's Blackpool. In his seven league games for "the Seasiders", Blackpool were the victors in six of them, which assisted in their finishing sixth in Division Four.

The following season, Siddall was transferred to Stoke City. In two years, he made twenty appearances in the league. He was also loaned out to Tranmere Rovers and Manchester City during his time at the Victoria Ground.

In 1986, Siddall returned to Blackpool, this time on a permanent basis. Sam Ellis was still in charge of the Bloomfield Road club, now a division higher, and Siddall went on to make 37 appearances during the 1986–87 season, as the club finished ninth in Division Three.

He was also first-choice during 1987–88, making 38 appearances, but in 1988–89 he was dropped a couple of times in favour of his deputies, Gary Kelly and Vince O'Keefe. He still made 35 starts in the league, however, but was sold at the end of the season to Stockport County.

Siddall went on to play for four more clubs in as many years: Hartlepool United, Carlisle United, Chester City and Preston North End. He retired with 614 Football League appearances to his name over a 21-year career.
