Barry Faulkner (full name: Francis Barrett Faulkner; July 12, 1881 – October 27, 1966) was an American artist primarily known for his murals. During World War I, he and sculptor Sherry Edmundson Fry organized artists for training as camouflage specialists (called camoufleurs), an effort that contributed to the founding of the American Camouflage Corps in 1917.
Two of Faulkner's murals are exhibited on either side of America's original founding documents in the National Archives' Rotunda of the Charters of Freedom in Washington, D.C.
