Graham Barrett (born October 6, 1981 in Dublin) is an Irish international footballer currently playing for Scottish Premier League club Falkirk.

Barrett is a former Arsenal trainee, who featured in their FA Youth Cup winning side of 2000. During his time at Arsenal, he made three first team appearances, and had loan spells at Bristol Rovers, Crewe Alexandra, Colchester United, and Brighton and Hove Albion. In summer 2003 he moved to Coventry City, and has been in and out of the first team during his time there. He had a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday towards the end of the 2004/05 season, another loan spell at Scottish side Livingston, before signing for Falkirk for season 2006-2007 on a two year contract.

Useful as both a midfielder or a forward, he has represented the Republic of Ireland at youth and senior level, with 6 caps and 2 goals for the senior team. He was part of the side that won the UEFA Under-16 Championship in 1998. Barrett marked his return from injury by scoring a delightful goal against Rangers and celebrated this by jumping into the Falkirk fans, picking up a booking in the process.
