Henry Marshall Barnes (27 June 1869 — 8 June 1946) was an Irish first-class cricketer and British Army officer.

The son of the cricketer and soldier Christopher Barnes, he was born in Ireland at Newbridge and was educated in England at Marlborough College.[1] From Marlborough he pursued a career in the British Army, graduating from the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich as a second lieutenant in February 1889.[2] He was promoted to lieutenant in February 1892,[3] with Barnes being seconded as an adjutant of a Militia Artillery in February 1899,[4] being made a supernumerary captain upon this appointment.[5] He gained the full rank in February 1904.[6]

The following year he was promoted to major,[7] before retiring from active service in September 1909.[8] Barnes played first-class cricket in 1907, making a single appearance against Derbyshire at Lord's.[9] After retiring from the military, Barnes became a director of the Ipswich based printing firm Norman Adlard & Co. Ltd,[10] in addition to holding a directorship of Dindings Rubber Estates in 1927.[11] He was involved in local politics in Ipswich, serving on Ipswich Town Council.[10] Barnes died there in June 1946. He was married to Louisa Gibson Blaikie, who survived him.[10]
