Barry Atkinson (born 14 December 1937) was an English-born Australian former professional darts player. Nicknamed Bazza, he competed in events of the 1970s and 1980s.

Darts career[]

Atkinson played in the 1977 Winmau World Masters where he lost in the last 16 stage to who went on to reach the final and lose to Eric Bristow. He played in the inaugural BDO World Darts Championship in 1978, but lost in the first round 6–0 in legs to eventual champion Leighton Rees from Wales. He returned the next year, but again lost in the first round to Ceri Morgan from Wales in 1979.
