Johannes Hendrikus Barnard (29 January 1945 – 21 February 1985), known as Jannie Barnard, was a South African international rugby union player of the 1960s.

Barnard, the younger brother of Springboks hooker Robbie, was educated at Hoërskool Fakkel.{{cite web |title=Jannie Barnard |url=https://bokhist.com/PlayerData.aspx?PlayerID=173 |website=bokhist.com}}

A lightly built fly–half, Barnard represented Transvaal and was capped five times for the Springboks in 1965. He made his debut against Scotland during a short tour of the British Isles, impressing enough to earn a place on their much longer tour of Australia and New Zealand which followed.{{cite news |title=The Springboks |url=https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19650626.2.117 |work=The Press |date=26 June 1965}} After playing both Test matches in Australia, Barnard was displaced for the All Blacks series by Keith Oxlee, who possessed a better kicking game. He however returned to play the final two of four Test matches played between the sides.{{cite news |title='Boks Make 5 Changes |url=https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/CHP19650902.2.187 |work=The Press |date=2 September 1965}}
