Barry Alan Thompson (28 December 1947 – 13 June 2006) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A prop, Thompson represented Canterbury at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 1979. He played eight matches for the All Blacks including two games against Argentina and one against Italy, but they were not recognised as full internationals by the New Zealand Rugby Union.{{cite web| url = http://stats.allblacks.com/asp/Profile.asp?ABID=883 |title = Barry Thompson | last = Knight | first = Lindsay | publisher = New Zealand Rugby Union | accessdate = 3 August 2014}} He later served on the Waimakariri District Council from 1992 to 2001.{{cite news | title= All Black, councillor | date=1 July 2006 | work=The Press | page=19 | first=Robyn | last=Bristow }}
