Canadian Forces Station Barrington, also referred to as CFS Barrington, was a Canadian Forces Station located at Baccaro Point near the southwestern-most point of Nova Scotia.

Construction of a Pinetree Line of Ground-Control Intercept (GCI) radar site began at Baccaro Point in 1955 and was completed in 1957. The facility was operated by the USAF as Barrington Air Force Station by the 672d Aircraft Control and Warning Squadron.

The long range early warning radar became obsolete by the late 1980s and the facility was decommissioned on August 1, 1990. The Baccaro Point site currently hosts a remotely operated FPS-117 3D Canadian Coastal Radar transmitter/receiver facility.
