Kevin Edward Barry (22 April 1936 – 16 August 2014) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A utility forward, Barry represented Thames Valley and Auckland at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, from 1962 to 1964. He made 23 appearances for the All Blacks but did not play in any test matches.^[2]

Kevin Barry holds a unique place in New Zealand rugby history in that both his father, Ned, and his son, Liam, also played for the All Blacks: in doing so they were the first family to provide All Blacks from three successive generations.^[3]
