Barycentric

Barycentric can refer to:

In astronomy,
* Barycentric coordinates (astronomy) are coordinates defined by the common center of mass of two or more bodies
* Barycentric Dynamical Time was a time standard in the Solar system

* The barycentre is the point between two objects where they balance each other

In geometry,
* A barycentric subdivision is a way of dividing a simplicial complex
* Barycentric coordinates (mathematics) are coordinates defined by the vertices of a simplex
