Barry Hayles (born 17 April 1972 in London) is an English born Jamaican professional football player, who currently plays as a striker for Leicester City.

Hayles was first noticed as a Stevenage player in their FA Cup run before earning a move to Bristol Rovers in 1997. After just one season with the Pirates, Hayles moved to Fulham in 1998 and helped the club through two promotions to get to the FA Premier League. In 2004, he was released on a free transfer to Sheffield United, but was only there a couple of months before he moved to Millwall for a nominal fee.

He was signed by Plymouth Argyle by new manager Ian Holloway for a fee of £100,000 prior to the 2006/2007 season, where he quickly established himself as a supporters' favourite after a hugely impressive start. He made his Plymouth Argyle debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he also scored his first goal for Plymouth Argyle. He was lucky to have the goal put down as his name as it appeared to be headed over the line by fellow team mate Nick Chadwick. He has an enviable record of never being on a losing side when scoring for Argyle (14 goals, 7 wins and 7 draws) up to Saturday 28th April 2007.

On December 31 2007, Hayles joined Leicester City on an emergency loan deal. The deal will become permanent for an undisclosed fee on January 2. Hayles will sign an 18-month contract, reuniting with former Plymouth manager Ian Holloway. He made his debut in a 3-1 defeat to QPR on January 1, playing the full 90 minutes.
