Walter Lanier "Red" Barber (February 17, 1908 – October 22, 1992) was an American sports announcer. Barber, nicknamed "The Ol' Redhead", was primarily identified with broadcasts of Major League Baseball, calling play-by-play across four decades with the Cincinnati Reds (1934–1938), Brooklyn Dodgers (1939–1953), and New York Yankees (1954–1966). Like his fellow sportscasting pioneer Mel Allen, Barber also gained a niche calling college and professional American football in his primary market of New York City.
