Diana Lynn Harshbarger (born January 1, 1960) is an American politician. A member of the Republican Party, she has served as the U.S. Representative for Tennessee's 1st congressional district since 2021.

Born in Bloomingdale, Tennessee and raised in nearby Kingsport, she graduated from Ketron High School in Kingsport before attending East Tennessee State University and Mercer University's School of Pharmacy, earning a Pharm.D. at the latter. Harshbarger has been a licensed pharmacist since 1987. She and her husband, Robert, operate Premier Pharmacy, a compounding pharmacy.
