Dan(iel) Barry (b. 1953-12-30) is a former astronaut who played the first game of Go in space, in 1996, against Japanese astronaut [ext] Koichi Wakata.

In recognition of this feat, he was awarded an honorary two dan rank by the Nihon Ki-in.

The board and stones (more precisely, printed stickers) they used to play the game are now exhibited at the Go Hall of Fame Museum at the Nihon Kiin Headquarters: see [ext] this Kiin article (sixth photo).
