Barkarby, also known as Barkarbystaden is an area in Järfälla Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden, and part of the contiguously built-up Stockholm urban area. It is currently undergoing a large urban development through the Barkarbystaden project, transforming a former military airbase and airport area into an urban district.

Barkarby has a station on the Stockholm commuter rail network, and two metro stations, Barkarby and Barkarbystaden are set to open in 2027 as an extension of the Stockholm Metro Blue Line.
