Barry Wagner (born November 11, 1967) is an World Indoor Football League wide receiver/defensive back with the Daytona Beach Thunder. He also played in the Arena Football League for the Orlando Predators and the San Jose SaberCats, with whom he won two ArenaBowl Championships. Wagner is the all-time AFL all-purpose yardage leader.

During his initial tenure with the Orlando Predators, Wagner was a key component in the famous "Miracle Minute", in which he scored two touchdowns, two two-point conversions, recovered an onside kick, and made a key defensive stop, all in the final minute of a 1992 game against the Detroit Drive.

On Wednesday, March 28, after getting cut from the Tampa Bay Storm's practice squad, he joined the Daytona Beach Thunder of the WIFL. However, after the Thunder ended their season at 4-10, he rejoined the Predators for the 2007 AFL playoffs.[1]
