Barry Owens is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played at full-back for the Fermanagh county team and for the Teemore Shamrocks club. He has been described as among the best full-backs in Ireland, and he was an important part of the Fermanagh sides that reached the 2003 All-Ireland quarter-final and the 2004 All-Ireland semi-final. He won two All Star awards, in 2004 and 2006, and only two other Fermanagh footballers have received one. In January 2008 it was announced that he would undergo heart surgery, and on 21 June 2008 he came on as a substitute against Derry at Healy Park in the Ulster Senior Football Championship semi-final and scored a vital goal within minutes, which gave Fermanagh a place in the Ulster final. His club honours include the 2005 Fermanagh Senior Football Championship with Teemore Shamrocks, and he won the MacRory Cup with St Michael's College in 1999.
