Barbara (originally Florrie) Weir (born c. 1945) is an Australian Aboriginal
artist and politician. One of the Stolen Generations, she was removed from her Aboriginal family and raised in a series of foster homes.
In the 1970s Weir returned to her family territory of Utopia, 300 kilometres (190 mi) northeast of Alice Springs.
She became active in the local land rights movement of the 1970s and was elected the first woman president of the Indigenous Urapunta Council in 1985. After starting to paint in her mid-forties, she also gained recognition as a notable artist of Central Australia. She also managed the artistic career of her own mother, Minnie Pwerle, who was also a noted artist.
