The Barbo family (later Barbo zu / von Waxenstein ) is a Slovenian noble family with Italian origin.

The Barbo family originated in Veneto, later moving into Austria and Carniola in Slovenia. They claim to descend from Roman Emperor Claudius. In 1547 the family settled in Kožljak, Istria. They were elevated to the rank of baron in 1622 and in 1674 they were elevated to the rank of count.[1]

The family produced one Pope, Paul II.
