Pamela Rebecca Ewing (maiden name Cooper; formerly Barnes) is a fictional character from TNT's primetime soap opera, Dallas, a continuation of the original series of the same name which aired on CBS from 1978 to 1991.

A member of the Barnes family, the character originated in two episodes of the original series' season 12 (in which she was 5 years old), and also appeared in the TV reunion movie Dallas: J.R. Returns (which is not regarded as canon by the 2012 series). Pamela Rebecca was named after both her aunt, Pamela Barnes Ewing, and grandmother, Rebecca Barnes Wentworth.
