Rosemary Lenton, born in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, on 21 August 1949, is a Scottish para lawn bowler and wheelchair curler. She earlier competed in sailing and cycling, began using a wheelchair after complications following routine surgery in 2002, and took up bowls in 2005. At the 2022 Commonwealth Games she won the gold medal in the women's pairs B6 to B8 event alongside Pauline Wilson, which made her the oldest Commonwealth Games medallist in the history of Scotland. She has played at the World Bowls Championships three times and won a silver medal at the 2015 championships in New Zealand. Away from the green she has also competed nine times at the World Wheelchair Curling Championships, so her career spans two parasport disciplines.
