Ivan Grigorovich-Barsky[1][2][3][4][5] or Ivan Hryhorovych-Barskyi (Russian: Иван Григорьевич Григорович-Барский; Ukrainian: Іван Григорович Григорович-Барський; 1713–1791) was a Ukrainian-born Imperial Russian architect who worked in the Late Cossack Baroque style.

He was a graduate of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, and designed many buildings and churches in Kyiv and elsewhere.

Other buildings designed by him are the Church of the Three Saints (1761) in Lemeshi near Chernihiv, the regimental chancellery (1757), the Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God (1752–1764, in collaboration with Andrey Kvasov) in Kozelets, the buildings of the Mezhyhirskyi Monastery in Vyshhorod.

In 1785, 6 years before his death, Ivan Grigorovich-Barsky wrote his own epitaph: "Here is the body of the Kyiv citizen adviser Ivan Grigorovich-Barsky (the brother of the monk Vasily Grigorovich-Barsky, who traveled to different lands and holy places and described in a book everything seen), this same brother of his, who labored in the creation of various structures, brought water to various places, in this city from various sources under the mountains, and then built stone churches, bell towers and chambers.

He made the first church in the Kirilovsky monastery, with a belfry, gates, and cellars.
