Barbus cyri, the Kura barbel, is a species of freshwater cyprinid fish from the Near East region.

The specific epithet cyri is from the Latin Cyrus for the Kura River in Georgia, which is the type locality.[3]

After synonymisation with the Gokcha barbel, it follows that this species is also found in Lake Sevan.
