Enrique Barόn Crespo (born 27 March 1944) is a Spanish politician, economist, and lawyer. He is a member of the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and was a member of the European Parliament for the Party of European Socialists group until 2009.

Enrique Barón graduated in law from the University of Madrid and in business administration at ICADE, in Madrid, and ESSEC, in Paris, business schools, in 1965. As a practising lawyer, he specialised in labour law and acted for defendants in political cases (1970–1977).^[1]

He was a Deputy in the Cortes (1977–1987) representing Madrid region and was Minister of Transport, Tourism and Communications (1982–1985). In that period he proposed the dismantlement of many miles of both major and secondary railway routes. The proposal was based on reports that understated the importance of these lines.^[2]

After election to the European Parliament he was President of the European Parliament (1989–1992), and was PES Group chairman from 1 November 1999 to 15 July 2004. He was Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs (1992–1995).

Barόn is a member of the Board of Advisors of the Global Panel Foundation and the Advisory Board of think tank Gold Mercury International, London, UK. He is an active player in the Brand EU initiative to improve the management and promotion of the European Union brand and monitor its progress.

In March 2008, Barón Crespo was received by the Italian President Giorgio Napolitano together with the CEO Pier Francesco Guarguaglini and the General Director Giorgio Zappa, at the end of the concerto for the 60th birth anniversary of the Italian arms manufacturer Finmeccanica.^[3]

1985年、スペインが1986年に欧州連合（EU）、当時は欧州共同体（EC）に加盟したことを受け、バロンは大臣を辞任し、欧州議会議員に就任した。1987年には早くも欧州議会議長に立候補したが、3回の投票で、イギリス人のチャールズ・ヘンリー・プラム（バロン・プラム）にわずか5票差で敗れた。1989年7月25日、最初の投票で史上最年少の欧州議会議長に選出された。欧州議会の慣例に従い、2年半の任期を終えて退任した。
