Hugh Barker (1564 – 8 July 1632) was an English lawyer.
[2] He matriculated at New College, Oxford on 4 March 1585/6, holding a fellowship 1585–1591,[1] graduating B.C.L.
[3] He was master of the Prebendal School, Chichester, where his pupils included the jurist John Selden.
He died in 1632, and was buried in the upper end of the chapel of New College, Oxford, where he is commemorated by a monument by Nicholas Stone with a Latin epitaph.
[4] The Dictionary of National Biography originally claimed that Barker was Dean of the Arches for several years; this claim is repeated in several other sources,[1][3] but was deleted as an error in 1904.
