Frederick Johnson Barnes (8 January 1873 – 30 December 1917) was an English songwriter, who co-wrote numerous songs with R. P. Weston and Fred Godfrey. He was born in Southwark, London. Between about 1906 and 1915, he worked with co-writer R. P. Weston, mainly on songs for the popular music hall performer Billy Williams. Barnes and Weston co-wrote "Little Willie's Woodbines" (1908); "I've Got Rings On My Fingers" (1909); "When Father Papered the Parlour" (1910); and "Hush Here Comes the Dream Man", recorded in 1911 by Florrie Forde, parodied by First World War soldiers as "Hush Here Comes a Whizzbang", and sung in the Theatre Workshop production of Oh, What a Lovely War! in 1963. Barnes also worked with Fred Godfrey on songs such as "Jim’s A Funny Fellow When He’s Had A Few" (c.1911)
