Imogen Walsh (born 17 January 1984 in Glasgow) is a British rower, a former World Champion and current European Champion in Lightweight Women's Single Scull.

Walsh joined Inverness Rowing Club in 1995 as a cox, only taking up rowing herself in 2003 as a student at Glasgow University.

She won gold in the lightweight women's quad at the 2011 World Rowing Championships in Bled. She was racing with Stephanie Cullen, Kathryn Twyman and Andrea Dennis.

She raced the 2013 season with Twyman in the lightweight doubles, with a second, third and fourth place in the World Cup races, coming fourth at the 2013 World Rowing Championships in Chungju. In October 2013, she won the Women's Wingfield Sculls race.

Imogen raced in the lightweight women's double scull with Kat Copeland throughout the 2014 Season.

Imogen and Kat went on to retain their gold at the final World Cup in Lucerne. At the World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam Imogen and Kat missed out on a place in the A Final, winning the B Final in a World's Best Time, albeit not for long, as this was broken again by a small margin in the A Final.
