Thomas Austin Barry (c. 1879 – December 27, 1947) was an American college football coach and player, lawyer, and industrial adviser. He served as the head coach at Tulane University, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Wisconsin, and the University of Denver. Barry attended Harvard Law School and Brown University, where he played on the football team and was named an All-American in 1902.
A native of Brockton, Massachusetts, Barry attended Brown University, where he played on the football team, and received varsity letters in 1899, 1900, and 1902. He served as the team captain in 1902, and led Brown to its first win against Pennsylvania, 15–6, in which he scored all of his team's points. Barry scored on a 50- and 31-yard run and a 28-yard field goal. It was the first time he had ever attempted to kick a field goal. That season, Caspar Whitney named him to his All-America first team and Walter Camp named him to his second team. He also played on the baseball team, and The Boston Post later wrote, "he became pioneer in the art of stealing home and not once in his college career did he fail to beat the throw to the plate. He stole home against Harvard, Dartmouth, and Yale." Barry graduated from Brown in 1903. He later graduated from Harvard Law School.
