Vít Bárta (born 5 December 1973) is a Czech politician and businessman who served as Minister of Transport from 2010 to 2011 and as Member of Parliament for Prague from 2010 to 2013. Bárta also led Public Affairs party briefly in 2013.

He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic and became a member of Petr Nečas' cabinet.

In April, 2011, Bárta was accused of bribery by his colleagues from Public Affairs, deputies Jaroslav Škárka, Stanislav Huml, and Kristýna Kočí. The deputies were subsequently expelled from the party. The incident caused serious problems in the Czech government coalition.

On 8 April 2011, Bárta announced his resignation from the government of Petr Nečas.

A year later, in April 2012, Barta was convicted of bribery and conditionally sentenced to 18 months of imprisonment.
