The Birmingham Barons Hall of Fame is a hall of fame which honors former players, managers, owners and others associated with the Birmingham Barons, Birmingham A's, and Birmingham Black Barons.

The first "Baron Hall of Fame" [sic] was established in 1943 by Birmingham News sport editor Zipp Newman to honor "players of former years who had made a place for themselves in the hearts of Baronial fans." He conducted a poll through the newspaper and had photographs of the chosen players displayed at the entrance of Rickwood Field. His poll only included players, and only from the white Barons teams.

The Hall of Fame was reinstituted in 2005 to honor notable former Birmingham Barons/Birmingham A's and Birmingham Black Barons as well as executives and media professionals associated with those teams. New inductees are usually announced at each year's Rickwood Classic at Rickwood Field.
