Barnet Rural District was a rural district in Hertfordshire, England from 1894 to 1941. In that year the district was renamed Elstree Rural District. Elstree Rural District was abolished in 1974, and merged with other districts to form the non-metropolitan district of Hertsmere.

Barnet Rural District was formed under the Local Government Act 1894 as successor to the Barnet Rural Sanitary District. The rural district had an identical area to Barnet RSD except for the parish of South Mimms in Middlesex which went to form a single-parish South Mimms Rural District on the south side of the Middlesex-Hertfordshire border.
