Barclay Field JP (1 April 1835 – 7 November 1892) was an English first-class cricketer and businessman.

The son of George Field, he was born at Clapham in April 1835. He was educated at Eton College,[1] before going up to University College, Oxford.[2] Field played first-class cricket for the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Cambridge University at Fenner's in 1861.[3] Batting twice in the match, he was unbeaten without scoring in the MCC first innings, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 17 runs by Herbert Salter.[4] By profession he was in business in London and was a justice of the peace for Kent.[1][5] Field died following a stroke and subsequent short illness in November 1892, at his lodge in Otford, Kent.[6][7] His brother, George, was also a first-class cricketer.
