Barnard Observatory is an academic building at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi. Completed as an observatory in 1859, it was part of the astronomy focus promoted by chancellor Frederick A.P. Barnard, but the outbreak of the Civil War put the purchase of its telescopes on hold. The building now houses the Center for the Study of Southern Culture, and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
