Barry Primus (born February 16, 1938) is an American television and film actor.
Primus is primarily an actor, but has also doubled and tripled as writer and director. He worked on stage for the first decade of his career.

After working as director Mark Rydell's assistant on The Rose (1979), Primus has increased his behind-the-camera activities; in 1992, he directed his first theatrical feature, the "inside" Hollywood comedy/drama Mistress.
