Herbert Charles "Barney" Mellows[1] (1896 – 25 February 1942) was an Irish Sinn Féin politician, and the brother of Liam Mellows.[2]

He was elected at the 1923 general election as Teachta Dála (TD) for the Galway constituency, but in accordance with Sinn Féin's abstentionist policy, he did not take his seat.[3] He was defeated in the June 1927 general election, and did not stand again.
