Michael Barrett "Barry" Watson (born April 23, 1974 in Traverse City, Michigan) is an American television actor, best known for his role in the series 7th Heaven.

Watson moved to Dallas, Texas at the age of eight, and found some work as a model. When he was fifteen, he moved to Burbank, California, soon finding a job on the soap opera Days of Our Lives. Afterwards, he moved back to Texas, and graduated from high school in Richardson in 1992.

When he turned 19, Watson moved back to Los Angeles, where he worked parking cars at the House of Blues nightclub, and later found a minor role on the Aaron Spelling series Malibu Shores. Spelling's daughter Tori introduced him to his first wife, Laura.

He was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in May 2002, and went on hiatus from 7th Heaven while he underwent treatment. As of April 2003 it was reportedly in remission, and he began appearing on the program again, starting with the 150th episode. He has since returned as a regular cast member. He is currently engaged to Tracy Hutson.
