Scott Barron (born 2 September 1985) is a former English professional football left back. He played in all three divisions of the Football League for Millwall, Ipswich Town, Wrexham and Brentford. Barron retired in 2014 after failing to overcome a long-standing hip injury.
Born in Preston, Lancashire and growing up in St Ives, Cambridgeshire, Barron joined Ipswich Town's academy at the age of 10 after being spotted playing in St Ives. Adept as left back or a left midfielder, Barron's first involvement with the first team came on 16 March 2004, when he was named as a substitute for a Division One match against Walsall, though he did not play. Barron made his first team debut against Brentford in a 2–0 League Cup first round win in August 2004 and played the full 90 minutes. He was an unused substitute on another six occasions, but a persistent groin injury meant that he missed much of the 2004–05 season. Barron's injury problems continued into the 2005–06 season and he had to wait until December 2005 for his next appearance, when he replaced Darren Currie after 87 minutes of a 1–1 Championship draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers. Barron enjoyed a run of 15 first team appearances during the second half of the season, totalling 16 for the campaign. He was only called into the Ipswich Town squad once during the 2006–07 season and was released in June 2007 after his contract expired. He made 17 appearances for the club during his three years as a professional.
