Guy Barnett (born 4 April 1962), has been a Liberal Party member of the Australian Senate since February 2002, representing the state of Tasmania. He was born in Launceston, Tasmania, and was educated at the University of Tasmania. He was a lawyer before entering politics. He was Senior Adviser to the Premier of Tasmania, Robin Gray 1988-89.

Barnett has conservative stances on stem cell research and embryo cloning, in vitro fertilization, abortion, and gay rights, and opposed the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Tasmania.^[1]

At the 2010 federal election, Barnett was defeated and served until July 2011. He also verbally attacked fellow Tasmanian Liberal Senator Eric Abetz, blaming him for the poor election result in Tasmania, and said the Liberal Party in Tasmania was "battling to stay relevant".^[2]^[3]
