In the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien, Barahir was a Man of Middle-earth, heir to the House of Bëor in the First Age and most famous as the father of Beren.
Barahir lived with 12 companions on the highland of Dorthonion. They were betrayed to Sauron by Gorlim the Unhappy, a lovesick member of their company. The rest of Barahir's companions were Gildor, Belegund, Baragund, Urthel, Dagnir, Ragnor, Radhruin, Dairuin, Arthad and Hathaldir. Barahir's son Beren escaped the slaughter and lived to a great destiny.
Earlier, Barahir had fought at the Dagor Bragollach, saving Finrod Felagund's life. For this, he received "Barahir's Ring", which was then handed down the family line.
