Barbara Peden

Barbara Peden (born 2 August 1907 in Chatswood, New South Wales – died 31 July 1984 in Sydney, New South Wales) was an Australian cricket player. Peden played four test matches for the Australia national women's cricket team alongside her sister Margaret Peden, who captained the team.

Peden was an architect outside of her cricket career. She and her sister Margaret were adherents of Christian Science, as was inaugural England captain Betty Archdale; their mothers had previously corresponded. The inaugural English tour of Australia was initiated by Margaret, who asked Barbara – then working in England – to contact Archdale and suggest that she organise an England team.
