Match report
La Blaugrana ended the weekend five points behind leaders Atletico Madrid, who lost to their own title at Leganes.
A draw on the road at Getafe continues a familiar pattern, with a fourth successive draw in the league in southern Madrid following three successive 0-0 draws.
French star Jules Kounde gave the visitors an early lead before Mauro Arambarri leveled before half-time.
Barcelona's expected revival never materialized after the restart as Getafe created the better chances but failed to punish a late Barcelona defense.
Substitute Frenkie de Jong almost grabbed the win for Barcelona in the closing stages, but the Dutch star was denied from a distance.
Barcelona return to UEFA Champions League action in midweek as they aim to book a place in the last 16 away against Benfica on January 21.
