Barbara Ann Galdonik (October 26, 1934 – December 1, 2003) was an All-American Girls Professional Baseball League player. Listed at 5' 5", 130 lb., she batted and threw right handed.[1][2]

Born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Galdonik played at third base for the Kenosha Comets and Battle Creek Belles clubs in a span of two seasons from 1950 to 1951. She did not have individual records or additional information was incomplete at the time of the request.[1][3]

She died in 2003 in Superior, Wisconsin, at the age of 69.[4]

The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League folded in 1954, but there is a permanent display at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum at Cooperstown, New York since 1988 that honors the entire league rather than any individual figure.[5]
