Rosalind ("Lindy") Runcie, Baroness Runcie (née Rosalind Turner) was a well-known pianist and wife of Lord Robert Runcie, Archbishop of Canterbury.

Rosalind Runcie was educated at the Perse School, Cambridge and the Guildhall School of Music, London. She married Robert Runcie on 5 September 1957.

Lady Runcie was interested in gardening and redesigned the gardens at Lambeth Palace (the London base of the Archbishop of Canterbury) in 1980.

In 1987, Lady Runcie launched a legal action against the publishers of the Daily Star newspaper, on the grounds that stories about her and her husband did not fall within the definition of the public's right to know. The Daily Star is believed to have paid substantial damages to Lady Runcie in an out-of-court settlement.

Lady Runcie now resides in St Albans, and teaches piano privately and at St Albans School (Hertfordshire) and St Albans High School for Girls. She has four grandchildren: Rosie, Charlotte, Matthew and Edward.
