Stephanie Barrett (born January 26, 1979) is a Canadian archer. Barrett has been practicing the sport since a few weeks before the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Career

Barrett competed at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru, where she finished tied for 17th in the individual recurve, tied fifth for team and fourth in the mixed team.

In March 2021, Barrett claimed one of three available quota places for the 2020 Summer Olympics in the women's individual recurve at the 2021 Pan American Archery Championships in Monterrey, Mexico. Barrett was officially nominated to the team on May 12, 2021. A week later at the World Cup stop in Lausanne, Switzerland, Barrett scored a 652 in the qualification round, the highest ever by a Canadian woman in an international competition.

Controversy

There has been criticism of her selection on the grounds that she is taking a place that should have been taken by a biological woman.
