Jack Charles Barley (4 December 1887 – 26 October 1956) was an English cricketer and a British Colonial Service administrator.

His debut came for Sussex against Cambridge University in 1908; he had a quiet match, taking only one catch and scoring 0 and 1 with the bat.

[1] Barley has one minor claim to fame: he shared in Worcestershire's record eleventh-wicket partnership – albeit one of just 9 – with Maurice Jewell in their 12-a-side match against Oxford University.

He joined the administration of the British Western Pacific Territories after leaving Oxford University in 1911.

[3] Barley's tenure ended officially in December 1941 following the Japanese occupation of the Gilbert Islands, however Ronald Garvey had replaced him as Acting Resident Commissioner from 1938 to 1939.
