Jonathan Barron (born 2 March 1937) is a retired English snooker player.

He started playing snooker when he was about 10, on a three-quarter size table above his father's shop in the village of Mevagissey.

[1] He first reached the final of the English Amateur Championship in 1962,[2] where he was defeated 9–11 by Ron Gross.

[7] Attempting to defend his title at the 1972 World Amateur Snooker Championship, he won all three of his group matches, but then lost 6–8 to Edmonds in the semi-finals.

[7] According to Barron, he retired from most competitive snooker after the 1972 World Amateur Championship (held in January 1973) to allow more time to focus on his family and business,[1] although he did continue to play in local league games until 2000.
