Philippe Xavier Christian Ignace Marie Barbarin (born 17 October 1950) is a French prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He has been Archbishop of Lyon, France, since 2002. He was made a cardinal in 2003.
Barbarin was born in 1950 in Rabat, Morocco, then a French protectorate, into a large family (six sisters, two of whom are nuns, and four brothers). Barbarin studied for the priesthood in Paris. He was ordained on 17 December 1977 by Bishop Robert de Provenchères of Créteil.
Barbarin was involved in pastoral work until 1994, when he taught theology in the Archdiocese of Fianarantsoa, Madagascar.
On 1 October 1998, he was appointed Bishop of Moulins. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 22 November from the Jesuit Archbishop Philibert Randriambololona of Fianarantsoa (with Bishops André Quélen and Daniel Labille serving as co-consecrators). Barbarin was named Archbishop of Lyon on 16 July 2002.
As is customary for archbishops of Lyon, Monsignor Barbarin was promptly elevated to the Cardinalate. He was created Cardinal-Priest of SS. Trinità al Monte Pincio by Pope John Paul II in the consistory of 21 October 2003. He was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 2005 papal conclave that selected Pope Benedict XVI and the 2013 conclave which elected Pope Francis. He is eligible to participate in any conclave that begins on or before his 80th birthday on 17 October 2030.
