Ignez Magdalena Aranha de Lima "Inezita" Barroso (4 March 1925 – 8 March 2015) was a Brazilian sertanejo singer, guitarist, actress, TV presenter, librarian, folklorist and teacher.

Inezita Aranha de Lima became interested in music at an early age. By the 1950s she had had a few mainstream hits, but had a fondness for traditional folk and rural music, even though she herself has been a lifelong urbanite.

She was married to Adolfo Cabral Barroso from 1947 until his death in 2006; the couple had one child.
