Barbara "Bobbi" Morse is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in Astonishing Tales #6 in 1971 as a supporting character and eventual love interest of Ka-Zar, with a Ph.D. in biology. She is soon revealed to be the highly trained Agent 19 of S.H.I.E.L.D., taking the moniker Huntress in Marvel Super Action #1 in 1976, and Mockingbird in Marvel Team-Up #95 in 1980, before going on to be a member of several Avengers teams, briefly marrying and subsequently divorcing Clint Barton/Hawkeye.

Mockingbird has been described as one of Marvel's most notable female heroes.

In media set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Bobbi Morse and Agent 19 are depicted as separate characters, the former appearing in the second and third seasons of the television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2014–2016), portrayed by Adrianne Palicki, and the latter (as retired S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Laura Barton) appearing in the films Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) and Avengers: Endgame (2019) and the Disney+ miniseries Hawkeye (2021), portrayed by Linda Cardellini.
