Barent or Bernard Pietersz Fabritius (or Fabricius) (16 November 1624 [bapt.] – 20 October 1673 [buried]), was a Dutch painter.
Fabritius was born at Middenbeemster, North Holland, the son of {{ill|Pieter Carelsz. gen. Fabritius|de|lt=Pieter Carelsz. Fabritius}}. He studied with his brothers Johannes and Carel Fabritius, and probably with Rembrandt, as well. He was a painter of biblical subjects (The three angels before Abraham, The presentation in the temple), mythical and historical scenes, in addition to expressive portraits. He died in Amsterdam.
