Philip James Barraud (1879 – 9 August 1948) was an English entomologist who specialised in mosquitoes. He wrote the Fauna of British India volume on the mosquitoes (family Culicidae).
Barraud joined the RAMC where he was commissioned as a captain during World War I in Mesopotamia, serving in Salonica and Palestine after which he worked in Basra Iraq. He was chosen to join as entomologist to the Kala-azar commission in India. He later worked in India at the Central Malaria Bureau, which was established at Kasauli, Punjab Province, British India in 1909. Here he invented the Barraud cage (a box of made of muslin or organdie suspended on a wire frame placed inside insulators containing wet towels) for the transport and study of live mosquitoes. Barraud described many new genera and species of Culicidae. His collection, which included Palearctic Lepidoptera is in the Natural History Museum. The genus "Barraudius" Edwards, F.W., 1921 is named for him. He died at a nursing home in Bournemouth following a long illness.
