J. Barry Stout (November 7, 1936 – October 29, 2016) was a Democratic politician and former member of the Pennsylvania State Senate who represented the 46th District after winning a special election in May 1977.

Previously he was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives from 1970 through 1976.

On October 22, 2004 PennDOT dedicated the "J. Barry Stout Park and Ride" off the "Beau Street" exit of I-70 in South Strabane Township.

[4][5] Constructed by Greensburg-based Donegal Construction at a cost of $1.2 million, the lighted park and ride lot has 211 spaces and 7 handicapped-accessible spaces.

[4] Stout initially suggested the location of the park and ride lot after learning that PennDOT owned the land, which is ideally situated near I-70, I-79, and Route 19.
