Sanele Barns (born 2 April 1997) is a South African soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Premier Soccer League club Stellenbosch in the Premier Soccer League.

He hails from Tweefontein. He came into the system of TS Galaxy, and eventually made his Premier Division debut after the team owner bought a league licence, but also spent time on loan to Casric F.C. in the ABC Motsepe League. Upon returning to Galaxy, he supported their 2019–20 CAF Confederation Cup campaign. Then-manager Dan Malesela stated that Barns was "very coachable" and had "good technique".^[1] Nonetheless, Barns left Galaxy in 2020 for University of Pretoria, "AmaTuks".

Barns then joined Richards Bay in the summer of 2022.^[2] This would lead up to his first regular first-tier season in 2022-23.^[3] He recorded four goals and four assists.^[4]

He was subsequently named in the preliminary South Africa squad for the 2023 COSAFA Cup.^[5] The same summer, there were reports of Kaizer Chiefs wanting to sign him,^[4]^[6] as did Stellenbosch and Sekhukhune United.^[7]
