Barry Beecroft (born 4 January 1955) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne/Sydney in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Beecroft played in a variety of positions during his career but he was primarily a ruckman and key defender.

He moved to Sydney in 1982 to play another season with South Melbourne, who had relocated, but finished his career at Claremont.
