Harriet Nell Barber (born 1968) is an English figurative painter.

Barber was born in Chichester and studied initially at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design in Dorset. She then undertook her first degree at the then Manchester Polytechnic, studying at the Medlock campus, a former toilet factory which numbered Mick Hucknall amongst its alumni. In 1989 she was accepted at the Slade School of Art, University College, London (London University), for a two-year postgraduate Higher Diploma in Fine Art. Here she studied under Norman Norris and Euan Uglow, painting solely in the 'F Studio' from the life models there. In an environment closely associated with Uglow many of the poses adopted by the models would last for weeks, sometimes the whole term.
