Geodia barretti is a species of deep-sea sponge in the family Geodiidae, commonly found in cold-water ecosystems of the North Atlantic Ocean. This species thrives in nutrient-rich, cold-water environments and plays a crucial role in deep-sea ecosystems by filtering large volumes of water, contributing to nutrient cycling, and providing habitat for various marine organisms. Its unique adaptations to cold and high-pressure conditions make it an important subject for studying deep-sea biodiversity and ecological processes.

the generally smooth surface (absence of hispidity and epibionts) and white colour. The irregular form, especially in specimens larger than about 15 cm in diameter. The clearly visible sieves in the sometimes numerous preoscular cavities. Spicules: usually dichotriaenes and strongylasters
Geodia barretti has been found at depths from 30 to 2000 m.
