(9 March 1804 – 20 October 1884) was an English physician and the fourth son of Thomas Foster Barham.

[2] He was privately educated at several places in Cornwall and at Saffron Walden, proceeding from the latter town to Downing College, Cambridge, where he matriculated in October 1821.

In all the proceedings of the Royal Institution of Cornwall Dr. Barham took an active part, and to its Reports and Journal he contributed many articles.

[4] He served as consultant physician to the Truro Friendly Society, was also the president of the south-western branch of the British Medical Association for a time.

Though Dr. Barham was interested in antiquarian and geological pursuits generally, the two subjects which had especial charm for him were the climate of Cornwall and the diseases of the miners who contributed to its wealth.
