Dame Barbara Evelyn Clayton (2 September 1922 – 11 January 2011) was an English pathologist who made a significant contribution to clinical medicine, medical research and public service. She delivered what was depending on your point of view either a flawed verdict or deliberate cover-up that nothing but hysteria was to blame for the Camelford Water Pollution Incident (captured in the BBC documentary "Poison Water"). Dame Barbara was latterly Professor of Clinical Pathology at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London.
