Barry Dunn (born 15 February 1952) is an English former professional footballer who made 47 appearances in the Football League playing as a left winger for Sunderland, Preston North End and Darlington. He also played non-league football for Newcastle Blue Star and Seaham Red Star.[2]

Dunn was recruited by Sunderland from Wearside Football League side Blue Star, and the "willowy winger" debuted during the Black Cats promotion-winning season (1979–80) where he was "always looking to take his man on, get to the line and whip a cross in". His goals helped earn draws at Watford and Bristol Rovers.[3]
