Trevor Graeme Barker (1956 to 1996) was an Australian rules footballer who spent his whole Victorian Football League career with the St Kilda Football Club, playing 230 games between 1975 and 1989. A courageous defender and midfielder known for his high marking and his number 1 guernsey, he won two club best and fairest awards, in 1976 and 1981, and captained the club from 1983 to 1986, a period of severe financial hardship in which he worked off the field to help settle the club's debts and keep it fielding a team. He later coached Sandringham to two Victorian Football Association premierships, in 1992 and 1994, and was an assistant coach at St Kilda before he died of colon cancer at the age of 39. The club's best and fairest award now carries his name, and he was inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2019.
