Twinkle (born Lynn Annette Ripley, 15 July 1947, Surbiton, England) is an English singer-songwriter, primarily in the 1960s. Twinkle's most famous songs were "Terry" and "Golden Lights".

Only 16 at the time, her first single "Terry" (released in 1964) reached #4 on the UK charts. Her follow up recording "Golden Lights" (UK #21) was written about her by Cluskey, by then her ex-boyfriend.
