Several ships have been named Barbara:


 * Barbara was launched in Philadelphia and came to England circa 1787. She initially sailed as a West Indiaman, but then between 1788 and 1800 made five complete voyages as a whaler. The Spanish captured her late in 1800 in the Pacific during her sixth whaling voyage.
 * Barbara was built in France in 1792. The Royal Navy captured her circa 1798, gave her a thorough repair in one of their yards ("King's Yard"), but then sold her. She sailed on one voyage as a West Indiaman. She then became a whaler in the British Southern Whale Fisheries. On  her first whaling voyage she sailed to Walvis Bay. She was captured, either near there or on her way home, and taken into the Río de la Plata.
