John Barry was a three-masted merchant ship, convict transport, and immigrant transport built in 1814 at Whitby, England by John Barry for his own interests. A typhoon damaged her in 1841 and at last report she was an opium hulk at Hong Kong.
Under the command of Stephenson Ellerby, she sailed from Portsmouth, England on 30 April 1819, and arrived at Port Jackson, Australia on 26 September 1819. She embarked 142 male convicts, none of whom died on the voyage.
For her second convict voyage to Australia she was under the command of Roger Dobson. She sailed from Cork, Ireland on 16 June 1821, arrived at Port Jackson on 7 November 1821. She embarked 180 male convicts, none of whom died on the voyage.
She made an emigrant voyage to Canada under the command of Peter Roche. She sailed from Cork, Ireland on 22 April 1825 and arrived at Quebec on 22 July 1825. She underwent repairs in 1828 and had new top-sides installed and part new whales.
Her third voyage transporting convicts took John Barry to Hobart, Australia. She left England on 4 April 1834 under the command of John Robson, and arrived on 11 August 1834. She embarked 320 male convicts, none of whom died en route. She had a new deck and large repairs in 1834.

John Barry was reported to be a wreck in the Lombok Straits, and deserted by all her crew in 1840, however she was able to be got off after seven hours. She suffered the loss of her false keel and minor damage to her copper sheathing. She put into Sourabaya (now Surabaya) where she was repaired. She arrived at Port Jackson on 31 January 1841 with produce, 165 horses and a tiger from Java.
