Santa Bárbara del Zulia is a city of some 80,000 inhabitants in Zulia State in Venezuela. It is located to the south-west of Maracaibo Lake, in the Sur del Lago region of the state. Governor and presidential candidate Manuel Rosales was born in this city on December 12, 1952.

Santa Bárbara is connected by two bridges across the Escalante River with the city of San Carlos del Zulia, forming a twin city.
