The Barbaro family is a noble family who were patricians of the Republic of Venice. Various members are noted as church leaders, diplomats, patrons of the arts, military commanders, philosophers, scholars, and scientists.

Two of the family's most famous members were the brothers Daniele Barbaro and Marcantonio Barbaro, who were patrons of the architect Andrea Palladio and the painter Paolo Veronese..

The Barbaro family was organized into an Albergo, of which the family supported the Scuola Grande of the church of San Rocco, Venice, which primarily assisted citizens in time of plague, and the Scuola's Sala dell'Albergo functioned as the conference room for the members of the confraternity's Albergo.
