Deniz Barış (born 2 July 1977 in Kemah, Turkey) is a Turkish retired footballer. He is 1.84 meters tall and weighs 79 kilograms.

In his youth, Barış played for SV Este 06/70, and he had an important role when FC St. Pauli was promoted to the Bundesliga in 2001. After his years in F.C. St. Pauli, he attracted the attention of the Gençlerbirliği chairman İlhan Cavcav and he was transferred to Gençlerbirliği. In Gençlerbirliği's UEFA Cup campaign, he was one of the most influential players of the team. His team defeated outstanding European clubs such as Blackburn Rovers and Sporting CP.

In 2004, Fenerbahçe chairman bought Deniz to his team paying one of the Gençlerbirliği's record transfer fees.

Barış was a member of the Turkish squad in the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Private life

Due to a financial problem in his transfer to Fenerbahçe, his licence was suspended and he was unable to play for Kadıköy side for a long time. In July 2006, Barış lost his childhood love and mother of his two children Frauke Barış in a tragic house accident in his house in Jork (near Hamburg, Germany). During their match following this event, F.C. St. Pauli players wore black armbands to express their sorrow for the ex-St. Pauli player.
