William J. Barber II (born August 30, 1963) is an American Protestant minister and political activist. He is a member of the national board of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the chair of its Legislative Political Action Committee.

Since 2006 he has been president of the NAACP's North Carolina state chapter, the largest in the Southern United States and the second-largest in the country.

Historian and professor Timothy Tyson named Barber, "the most important progressive political leader in this state in generations."

In 2016, he delivered a speech at the Democratic National Convention.

In 2017, Barber was awarded an honorary doctorate from Drew University, his alma mater, and also delivered the university's sesquicentennial address at commencement exercises.
