Cyril Henry Barraud (1877–1965) was a British artist. He was the son of Herbert Rose Barraud and nephew of Francis Barraud.

Career After education at Downside School, Barraud trained at the Brighton School of Art and then worked as a manager at his father's photographic business before becoming a full-time artist. Between 1912 and 1924, he exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts. During the First World War, Barraud was commissioned by The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada (43 Battalion) and, after being wounded in the left leg, was posted to the Canadian War Office as an official war artist. An extensive collection of his wartime work is in the collection of the Canadian War Museum.

He also painted and etched: London street-scenes popular destinations close to the London and North Eastern Railway to be used as carriage prints cathedrals churches industrial buildings (notably interiors of Dunston Power Station) illustrations Christmas Cards
