Prince Barin is a character in the Flash Gordon stories. He is king of a region of Mongo called Arboria. Barin becomes one of Flash's best friends, and is deeply in love with Princess Aura. In his appearance and characterisation, Barin resembles the character of Robin Hood. Like Robin Hood, Barin is depicted as an unjustly outlawed nobleman who wears green, uses a bow, and lives in a forest.

Barin appears regularly in the Flash Gordon comic strip, becoming the ruler of Mongo after Ming's overthrow.
