Barry Keith 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.[citation needed]

He was selected as a back pocket in the St Kilda Team of the Century[1] and on the half back flank in the Tasmanian Team of the Century.[2]

Later he returned to the forward line.

He is the father of former St Kilda and Brisbane player Steven Lawrence.[citation needed]
