Philip Kenneth Barnes (born March 2, 1979 in Sheffield) is a goalkeeper for Grimsby Town.

Barnes started his playing career with Rotherham United, before moving to Blackpool in the 2000-01 season, as cover for Tony Caig in the Blackpool goal but eventually made the position his own. A good shot stopper with a safe pair of hands, he grew in confidence and contributed a number of clean sheets to the Bloomfield Road club's promotion campaign.

At his own request, Phil went on the transfer list at Blackpool in November 2003. He joined Sheffield United on a free transfer on July 2, 2004 but spent his time with the Blades mainly as cover for Paddy Kenny. A regular for the reserves, making just five first team appearances, he also went out on loan spells at Torquay United and Queens Park Rangers.

On 29 June 2006, he signed a 3 year contract with Grimsby Town for an undisclosed fee to replace Steve Mildenhall after his transfer to Yeovil Town.
