Barbus pallaryi is a doubtfully distinct ray-finned fish species in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in Algeria and Morocco.
Its natural habitat is freshwater springs. It is not considered a threatened species by the IUCN.
The taxonomy and systematics of the Maghreb barbs are subject to considerable dispute. Some authors consider B. pallaryi a distinct species, while others include it in the Algerian Barb (B. callensis).
