Kevin William Barden

Kevin William Barden, OP (3 June 1908 – 4 December 2004) was an Irish Catholic prelate who served as Archbishop of Isfahan from 1974 to 1982.

His father, Thomas Garret Barden, worked for the Irish Independent.

He entered the Dominican Order in Tallaght in 1924 and took the religious name William.

In 1991 he moved to the Sacred Heart nursing home in Raheny, where he died in 2004.
