Barry K. Lawrence (born 13 February 1946) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and for Longford in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association (NTFA).

Barry played as a forward for Longford in Tasmania and signed to play with Hawthorn in 1967 but he decided to stay in Tasmania for two more years. He had development a big reputation a footballer. He decided to join St Kilda, replacing champion Darrel Baldock who had decided to return to Tasmania. The Saints supporters thought he was a ready made replacement for the "Doc" but Barry found the VFL a tough competition to adjust to. His early games as a forward were a struggle for him to adjust to the tempo, and resulted in a lost of confidence, the coach decided to play him out of the back pocket. Here his form returned and he started to play good consistent football.

He played a great game on Peter Hudson in the 1971 Grand Final after Bob Murray was injured[1] and he is famously remembered for touching the ball as Hudson was kicking to break the VFL goalkicking record.[2]

He was selected as a back pocket in the St Kilda Team of the Century[3] and on the half back flank in the Tasmanian Team Of The Century.[4]

Later he returned to the forward line, using his skills of judgement and strength to good effect.

He is the father of former St Kilda and Brisbane player Steven Lawrence.
