Blanche Barton (born Sharon Densley on October 2, 1959) is Magistra Templi Rex within the Church of Satan, and is addressed by Satanists as Magistra Barton.
Barton was previously the High Priestess of the Church, a position to which she was appointed by her consort and Church founder Anton LaVey shortly before his death on October 29, 1997. She remained High Priestess until April 30, 2002, when she appointed Peggy Nadramia as High Priestess and assumed Nadramia's previous role of chairmistress. In 1999 she led an unsuccessful campaign to raise $400,000 with which to repurchase the Black House, where many of the Church's notorious rites had been performed.
Barton wrote The Church of Satan: A History of the World's Most Notorious Religion (1990) and The Secret Life of a Satanist: The Authorized Biography of Anton LaVey (1990).
Barton and LaVey are the parents of a son, Satan Xerxes Carnacki LaVey (born 1 November 1993).
