Barbara Bonney (born April 14, 1956) is an American soprano opera singer.

Bonney was born in Montclair, New Jersey. As a child she studied piano and cello. When Bonney was 13 her family moved to Maine, where she became part of the Portland Youth Orchestra as a cellist. She spent two years at the University of New Hampshire studying German and Music and embarked on a Junior Year Abroad at the University of Salzburg, where she switched from cello to voice. While there she studied at the Mozarteum.

In 1979, Bonney joined the Darmstadt Opera, where she made her debut as Anna in Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor (The Merry Wives of Winsor). In the subsequent five years she made appearances throughout Germany and Europe, notably at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden in London and La Scala in Milan. She made her Metropolitan Opera debut in 1987 in Richard Strauss's Ariadne auf Naxos in the role of Nyade and her Vienna Staatsoper debut that same year as Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier. Since then, she has appeared at the major opera houses of the world and at the Salzburg Festival (where she will reprise her role as Servilia in Mozart's La clemenza di Tito in 2006).
