Lupita Martinez (also spelled Lupita Vigil Martinez, 1918/1919–2006 or 2011 depending on the source) was a respected potter from San Ildefonso Pueblo in New Mexico, known for her traditional black-on-black (blackware) pottery. Lupita Martinez was connected to this tradition through family ties—she was a niece (by marriage) of Maria and Julian Martinez. She was active from around 1935 to the 1980s, producing highly polished black-on-black bowls, jars, vases, and sometimes bird figurines or other forms. Her work often features classic geometric designs, feathers, or simple elegant shapes, maintaining the traditional Pueblo aesthetic.
