Barry Johnson (born 17 June 1984) is an Irish hurler. His league and championship career with the Cork senior team lasted one season.
Born in Bartlemy, County Cork, Johnson first played hurling and Gaelic football with the Bride Rovers club. After enjoying much success in both codes in juvenile and underage grades at a divisional level, he won a Munster medal in the intermediate grade in 2003, having earlier won a county intermediate championship medal.
Johnson made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of nineteen when he was selected for the Cork intermediate team. He won an All-Ireland medal as a non-playing substitute in 2004. Johnson later joined the Cork senior team as captain of the team during the 2008–09 senior hurling team strike. He was a regular during the National Hurling League and was retained as a member of the championship panel when the strike was called off.
