Barataria is a town in Trinidad and Tobago. It is just east of Port of Spain and Laventille and west of San Juan. It is part of the East-West Corridor.

Barataria falls under the San Juan-Laventille Regional Corporation. This is a relatively quiet residential area, home to retired and "middle classes" with streets running north-south and east-west with corresponding names, e.g. "fifth street". The usual suburban mix of churches, shops, bars and auto repair shops exist. It is not far from the main highways into Port-of-Spain direct or via the scenic Lady Young road, and the East-West corridor. Busy shopping areas and a modern cinema exist within walking distance. The busy bus route ("maxi-taxi's" abound) running parallel with the eastbound highway runs just North of Barataria. The bus route was originally built to provide access to and from Piarco international airport in case of a national emergency.
