Montague Merton Barker (20 July 1867 – 12 January 1954) was an English first-class cricketer and international field hockey player.

The son of Montague Cochrane Barker, he was born at Paddington in July 1867. He was educated at Radley College.[1] He toured the West Indies with R. S. Lucas' XI in 1894–95, making his debut in first-class cricket on the tour against Barbados at Bridgetown. He made seven further first-class appearances on the tour,[2] scoring 94 runs at an average of 9.40 and a high score of 30.[3] He later made two first-class appearances for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Leicestershire in 1895 and Derbyshire in 1896.[2] Outside of cricket, he played field hockey as a half-back for England, captaining the team in 1898.[4] He died at Epsom Downs in January 1954.
