Barry Madlener (born 6 January 1969) is a Dutch politician, who has served as Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management in the Schoof cabinet since July 2024.

During his youth, Madlener lived in the south seaside village of Oostvoorne with his parents and older sister.

[1] After the PVV, VVD, NSC, and BBB formed the Schoof cabinet, Madlener was sworn in as Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management on 2 July 2024.

[1][3] In its governing agreement, the cabinet committed to limiting air traffic movements from and to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, to reduce noise pollution for local residents by 20% over time.

In his final plan, Madlener proposed to reduce air traffic movements to 478,000 in 2025, down from 500,000, which would result in a 15% noise pollution reduction.

[4][5][6] Responding to unsafe situations and nuisance caused by electric fatbikes, the House passed a motion by the VVD and NSC calling on Madlener to set a minimum driving age of 14 and to require helmets.
