Josephine Kachinamana (also spelled Kachinmana, Katchimana, or Zeena; full name Josephine Zeena/Kachimana, 1928–2011) was a Hopi Pueblo potter from Walpi Village on First Mesa, Arizona.

She is known for traditional Hopi polychrome pottery—hand-coiled, pit-fired pieces using local clays, with designs in black, red, and sometimes other earth tones on a yellow or cream slip. Her work was active primarily from the 1960s to the 1980s and reflects classic Hopi styles inspired by ancient Sikyatki influences, featuring geometric patterns, feathers, birds, or stylized motifs.
