Lavender Rosamund Marguerite "Pinkie" Barnes (18 April 1915 – 14 September 2012) was an English international table tennis champion.

[1] Barnes did not like the short forms of any of her three Christian names and was keen to be called a nickname; "Pinkie" apparently derived from her babyhood complexion.

She played for England eleven times between 1946 and 1950 and won various trophies, including the Championship of the Netherlands.

She won another silver medal as part of the women's team consisting of Joan Crosby, Margaret Franks, and Adele Wood.

Following her marriage, Pinkie became an advertising copywriter, working for Masius & Ferguson, and was one of the first women in the UK to hold such a position.
