Percival Barnes 'Barney' Wood (22 December 1901 - 9 June 1941) was an Australian sportsman who played both first-class cricket and Australian rules football.

New Zealand born Wood played his football as a defender and was recruited to the Melbourne Football Club from Melbourne Grammar. He appeared in five games in the 1928 VFL season before moving to Western Australia where he spent some time with West Perth. [Holmesby, Russell and Main, Jim (2007).

On the 19th of March 1932 he made his first-class cricket debut in a match for Western Australia against the touring South African national cricket team at the WACA Ground. He was dismissed for six in the first innings by Cyril Vincent and for two in the second by Denys Morkel.
