The Barbados National Trust, founded in 1960, is an organisation which works to preserve and protect the natural and artistic heritage of Barbados and to increase public awareness of Barbados' historic and architectural treasures.

These include a number of different cemeteries, gardens, historic houses, nature reserves, park areas, windmills and coastal areas.

The Trust also runs museums displaying a collection of artefacts owned and made by Barbadians, as well as an education programme, focussing on the island's history and what it means to the future.

The Barbados National Trust has built a good working order with other National Trusts worldwide, equally with the organisations and their members, in places such as Canada, England, Ireland, Wales, and the United States.
