Barry Rowlings (born 21 August 1950) is a former Australian rules footballer who represented Hawthorn and Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1970s and 1980s.

Recruited from Moe, Rowlings was one of Hawthorn's best players in the emotional 1976 premiership triumph.

In 1978 Rowlings suffered a serious knee injury which prevented him from being part of Hawthorn's 1978 triumph, and was cleared to Richmond. In his first season at Tigerland won the Jack Dyer Medal, which is awarded to Richmond's best and fairest player for the season. Since 1996 has been Football Director at Caulfield Grammar School and holds a development coaching role for all year levels.

Rowlings has been partly responsible for the football development of many current AFL players, such as Brent Hartigan, Jason Winderlich, Chris Judd, Tristan Cartledge, Matthew Richardson, and Tom Roach.
