Donald Barry Llewelyn (born 6 January 1948) is a retired Welsh rugby union player who gained 13 caps for Wales as a prop between 1970 and 1972.

Barry was born in Ashton, Lancashire and educated at Llanelli Grammar School. He began his first-class rugby union career at Llanelli, and joined Newport RFC in the 1968–69 season while studying at Caerleon College of Education. He made his Newport debut in a 6–5 win at Pontypool on 13 November 1968. He made his Wales debut on 24 January 1970 against South Africa and gained 13 caps in total, 5 with Newport and 8 after he returned to Llanelli in the 1970–71 season.

Wales

In 1970 he made his debut for Wales against South Africa. He scored his first and only try for Wales against Scotland in 1972. He went on and made 13 consecutive caps until a knee injury in 1972 interrupted his career - he never played for Wales again.
