Barbara Shelley (gebürtig Barbara Kowin; * 13. Februar 1932 in London; † 3. Januar 2021) war eine britische Schauspielerin.

Mit dem Low-Budget-Film Die Nächte der Würgerin wurde sie 1957 bekannt. In den folgenden Jahren etablierte sie sich als ein Star des britischen Gruselkinos.

In dem Klassiker Das Dorf der Verdammten spielte sie die Mutter eines mit übernatürlichen Kräften ausgestatteten Jungen.
