Barker Road (Chinese: 白加道) is an intermediate station on the Peak Tram funicular railway line located on Barker Road in the Peak, Central and Western District, Hong Kong, 363 metres (1,191 ft) above sea level. The station opened in 1888 along with the tramline. Barker Road itself passes under the tramway at the uphill end of the station on a bridge.

The station comprises a single platform on the western side of the single track. Barker Road is the only intermediate station to have a 'proper' station building, having a concrete roof built over the top of the platform and tracks, all other stations only having a small shelter on the platform.

As the station is located in a high-income residential area where most residents own a car, its usage rate is relatively low. The station is a request stop at which tram cars will stop only if passengers press the request button inside the tram compartment or at the station. This feature is not offered during Sundays and Statutory Holidays, due to the increased demand in the overall tram line. No ticketing equipment is provided on the platform.
