Barbarella's was a nightclub and music venue located in Birmingham, England. The name of the club was taken from the film Barbarella.

This club was one of Eddie Fewtrell's clubs.[1] Fewtrell promoted known rock bands at that time, such as AC/DC, Dire Straits, Queen, Sex Pistols and The Clash.

Duran Duran's drummer Roger Taylor played at Barbarella's with punk bands in the 1970s.

Both The Prefects and The Photos recorded a song called Barbarella's, the latter mourning the turning of the club into another disco.
