Barinophyton
Scientific classification
Kingdom:	Plantae
Clade:	Polysporangiophytes
Clade:	Tracheophytes
Clade:	†Barinophytes
Genus:	†Barinophyton; White (1905) emend. Brauer (1980)

Barinophyton was a genus of Silu-Devonian land plant with branching axes.

A cladogram published in 2004 by Crane et al. places Barinophyton in the core of a paraphyletic stem group of broadly defined "zosterophylls", basal to the lycopsids (living and extinct clubmosses and relatives).^[3]
