'''Thomas Barbar''' ([fl.](/source/fl.) 1587), was an English [divine](/source/Anglicanism).

Barbar was admitted scholar of [St. John's College, Cambridge](/source/St._John's_College%2C_Cambridge), 8 November 1560, proceeded B.A. 1563–4, M.A. 1567, and B.D. 1576, and was elected fellow 11 April 1565.<ref>{{acad|id=BRBR560T|name=Barber, Thomas}}</ref> He subscribed in 1570 a testimonial requesting that Cartwright might be allowed to resume his lectures. He became preacher at [St. Mary-le-Bow](/source/St._Mary-le-Bow), London, about 1576, and in June 1584 he was suspended on refusing to take the ''ex officio'' oath. The parishioners petitioned the court of aldermen for his restoration. In December 1587 [Archbishop Whitgift](/source/Archbishop_Whitgift) offered to remove his suspension if he would sign a pledge to conform to the law of the church and abstain from [conventicles](/source/conventicles). He declined to pledge himself. His name is attached to the ‘Book of Discipline,’ and he belonged to the presbyterian church at [Wandsworth](/source/Wandsworth), formed as early as 1572. In 1591 he was examined in the [Star Chamber](/source/Star_Chamber) with other [puritan](/source/puritan) divines for having taken part with Cartwright and others in a synod held at St. John's College, Cambridge, in 1589, when it was agreed to correct and subscribe the ‘Book of Discipline.’ He is probably the author of a translation of Fr. du Jou's ‘Exposition of the Apocalypse’ (Cambridge, 1596), and of a ‘Dialogue between the Penitent Sinner and Sathan’ (London, without date).
