Barca (Hungarian: Bárca) is a borough (city ward) of Košice, Slovakia. Located in the Košice IV district, it lies at an altitude of roughly 210 metres (690 ft) above sea level, and is home to over 3,600 people. The borough is generally rural in nature.
It was originally a village in its own right, the first written record about Barca dating back to 1215.
In the latter half of the 20th century, Barca lost village municipality status and was annexed to Košice as one of its boroughs.
One of the principal features within contemporary Barca's catastral territory is Košice International Airport, which is the second largest in Slovakia.
