Probably an O ring would work just as well.

What correct name for this pipe fitting please?

IIRC, tap connector?

I've just removed several of the taps in the house to repair and/or
replace them. The sealing washer on this one was damaged, so I have had
to put it back together with a small weepage, at least until the shops
reopen on Monday.

I'm pretty certain I've seen these washers in the sheds - probably in a
packet at an extortionate price.

If you have to use mail order, Screwfix do a fibre washer selection box.
