Barbara Goodwin Walker (née Jones; July 2, 1930 – December 21, 2025) was an American author and feminist. She was a knitting expert and the author of over ten encyclopedic knitting references, despite "not taking to it at all" when she first learned in college. Other topics she wrote about included religion, New Age, the occult, spirituality, and mythology.
