Barkarö is a locality situated in Västerås Municipality, Västmanland County, Sweden with 1,163 inhabitants in 2010.

== History == The Västerås-Barkarö parish had its origins in the Middle Ages but its name didn’t become Västerås-Barkarö until 1889. Its church probably dates to the turn of the 13th century. A fire in 1771 destroyed the church and it also devastated many of the buildings in its vicinity.
