Barrie Thomas
| Date of birth | 19 May 1937 |
| Place of birth | Measham |
| Nationality | English |
| Position | Centre forward |
Thomas cost Newcastle a club record fee of £45,000 when he was signed from Scunthorpe United. An instinctive goalscorer, although often restricted by injury, he transferred his very high goal ratio from the Lincolnshire club and it was a surprise when he was allowed to return to the Old Showground ranks.
