Barnard Castle Rural District was located in County Durham, England from 1894 to 1974. It was named after the village of Barnard Castle which was an urban district.
It was created in 1894 under the Local Government Act 1894 as the part of the former Teesdale rural sanitary district that was in County Durham (the rest going on to form Startforth Rural District in the North Riding of Yorkshire). In 1937 it was much expanded when a County Review Order disbanded the Auckland Rural District, transferring much of it (the most rural part) to Barnard Castle Rural District.
It was abolished in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, the area going on to form part of the Teesdale non-metropolitan District.
