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.[1] Peden played four test matches for the Australia national women's cricket team alongside her sister Margaret Peden, who captained the team.[2]
Peden was an architect outside of her cricket career.[3] 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.[4]
