David Barron (born 10 September 1987) is a Scottish footballer, currently playing for Stranraer in Scottish League One. He has previously played in the Scottish Premier League for St Mirren.
Barron signed for St Mirren after being released by Partick Thistle and rejected by a cash strapped Clyde team. In his first season at Love Street, a knee injury blighted Barron's season. Nonetheless manager Gus MacPherson saw potential in him and offered him a new two-year contract.
Barron started his first league game for St Mirren in a no score draw against Kilmarnock at Love Street. Despite injury forcing his substitution at half time, he returned to the first team and scored his first goal against Dumbarton in the Scottish Cup. He managed a to retain his place for the remainder of the 2007–08 season after an injury to David van Zanten and cemented his place at right-back. After the departure of van Zanten to Hibernian at the end of the season, Barron was expected to become first choice right back at St Mirren, however former Falkirk captain, Jack Ross was signed in the close season and secured the right back position.
The signing of Jack Ross was compounded by medial ligament damage in his knee which saw him out of contention for 11 weeks and limited his outings in the 2008–09 season, not playing a game until the turn of the year. A similar injury to left back Franco Miranda saw Barron deployed in a variety of defensive positions, until left back Mo Camara was signed.
