Bobbie Barwell (née Mildred Annie Hickman; 25 August 1895 – 14 August 1985) was a New Zealand photographer. She was the first professional woman photographer in Ashburton, and photographed a number of well-known people, including three New Zealand prime ministers. Barwell's photograph of Lake Pukaki was used as the inspiration for the image on the 1940 New Zealand £5 note.
