Barbara Mazzel Anne Perry (born 6 April 1964[citation needed]) is an Australian former politician, representing Auburn for the Labor Party in the New South Wales Legislative Assembly from 2001 to 2015.

Perry was the first woman of Lebanese origin to be elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly.

She was educated by the Sisters of Charity and the Marist Brothers before graduating in law from the University of Sydney, commencing work with the Legal Aid Commission of New South Wales in 1990.

[2] On 7 January 2015, after a bitter pre-selection contest,[4] Perry announced that she would not seek Labor endorsement for the 2015 state election.

She stood down in order to make way for newly elected leader Luke Foley to have a clear run for her seat.
