Michael Barry (born December 18, 1975 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian professional road racing cyclist for UCI ProTeam Team High Road. Previous to this, he spent several years with the Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team. He was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. His father, Michael Barry sr., runs a specialty bike store and so the younger Barry grew up in a cycling intense environment and naturally grew to love cycling. He has been a professional since 1998. His wife is Dede Barry.

In 2005 he wrote the book: Inside the Postal Bus about his experiences at US Postal and the 2004 season whilst riding in support of Lance Armstrong.

He is generally considered a support rider, or domestique, helping the team leaders win races. Highlights include:

At the 2006 Ronde van Vlaanderen, Barry went down extremely hard in a crash, suffering severe facial cuts and lacerations and also fracturing some vertebrae.
