Reverend Father Barry Ryan (born 1949) is a U.S. Roman Catholic priest who in late December 2004 pleaded guilty to repeatedly molesting a six year-old boy and who was sentenced to two years in prison.

After his ordination in 1976 Ryan worked in parishes in Brooklyn, New York before enlisting as a chaplain in the U.S. Air Force in 1984. He left the Air Force in 1995 after allegations of improper sexual conduct while he had been stationed at Mobile, Alabama. Also, Ryan was suspended from his priestly duties.

Until the spring of 2003, he was a library media specialist at a high school in Stuart, Florida, where he was named Teacher of the Year in 2001. He took a medical leave of absence in the wake of news reports that he might have been involved in improper sexual activity during his time as an Air Force chaplain. Also, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the liver. Shortly afterwards, between May and October 2003, he committed the sexual abuse at the home of a Long Island family he had befriended, repeatedly forcing the boy to perform oral sex.

Ryan attempted to commit suicide in 2007 by slitting his own throat. Shortly thereafter, he was ordered from the Missouri hospice in which he was residing to begin serving his two-year sentence in New York.
