Lucy Clare Winkett (born 8 January 1968) is a British Anglican priest. Since 2010, she has been the Rector of St James's Church, Piccadilly. Her early ordained ministry was spent at St Paul's Cathedral, London, where she was a Minor Canon and chaplain from 1997 to 2003, and the Canon Precentor from 2003 to 2010. She was the first female priest to join the clergy of St Paul's Cathedral.
Winkett was born on 8 January 1968 in Portsmouth, Hampshire, England, to Bryan and Cecilia Winkett.

She won a choral scholarship to Selwyn College, Cambridge where she studied modern history. Her contemporaries at Cambridge included the comedian Alexander Armstrong with whom she starred in a production of Guys and Dolls.
