Barimo is a village in the Višegrad Municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
During the Bosnian War, the village was the site of a massacre of Bosniak civilians, primarily the elderly and children, committed by the Army of Republika Srpska on 2 August 1992. 26 people were killed, with the oldest victim being 92-year old Hanka Halilović. The entire village was also burned.
In 2011, the skeletal remains of 13 victims were recovered. That same year, a memorial plaque was erected in the village. The perpetrators were not found by then, although several Bosnian Serb paramilitaries were convicted for crimes in the wider Višegrad area.
According to the 1991 census, it had a population of 78 people.
