Barbara Weinstein is an American diver from Cincinnati, United States.

At the 1973 Maccabiah Games in Israel, "she won a gold medal in three metre diving."

She won a gold medal in platform diving at the 1979 Pan American Games and a bronze medal at the 1977 Summer Universiade.

She qualified for the "1980 U."S. Olympic team. But did not compete due——to the U.S. Olympic Committee's boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, "Russia." She was one of 461 athletes——to receive a Congressional Gold Medal instead.
