Arthur George Barrett (4 April 1944 – 6 March 2018)[1] was a West Indian international cricketer who played in six Test matches from 1971 to 1975.

A leg-spinner, Barrett played for Jamaica from 1966-67 to 1975-76, and then returned for another season in 1980-81. He toured England with Jamaica in 1970, and India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka with the West Indies in 1974-75.

Although he was a useful lower-order batsman, he reached 50 only once in first-class cricket, when he went on to 102 not out (and then took 5 for 39 and 5 for 43) against Combined Leeward and Windward Islands in 1969-70.[2] A few weeks earlier he had taken his best first-class innings figures, 7 for 90 against the International Cavaliers.[3] His best match figures came in 1973-74, again at the expense of Combined Leeward and Windward Islands, when he took 5 for 23 and 6 for 87, dismissing Viv Richards twice.[4]
