Lady Barbara FitzRoy (16 July 1672 – 6 May 1737) was the sixth and youngest child of Barbara Palmer, 1st Duchess of Cleveland, a mistress of Charles II of England. Although Charles publicly acknowledged her as his child, he was probably not the father. She became a Benedictine nun, known as Benedite.
