Pamela T. Barrett (November 26, 1953 – January 21, 2008) was a Canadian politician who sat in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta as a member of the New Democratic Party.
She defeated incumbent David Thomas King, the Minister of Technology, Research, and Telecommunications, in what many regarded as a substantial upset.
She was named to a prominent position in the NDP Official Opposition, which for the first time in that party's history was 16 MLAs strong.
Barrett came back to politics when she contested and won the Alberta NDP leadership in 1996 following the resignation of Ross Harvey.
She was parodied on the CBC Television show The Royal Canadian Air Farce and featured on the front cover of the May 2000 issue of lifestyle magazine Elm Street.
