Kim John Barnett (born 17 July 1960) is an English former cricketer. Barnett was a batsman who played internationally for England between 1988 and 1989.

He was primarily a batsman, but could also deploy effective leg spin, and topped the English first-class bowling averages in 1994 with 13.30, albeit with only thirteen wickets to his name. Barnett was named one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Year in 1989.
