Gregory M. Lonewolf (b. 1952) is a contemporary Santa Clara Pueblo potter from a renowned artistic family. He is the son of the famous potter Joseph Lonewolf, brother to potters Rosemary Lonewolf (Apple Blossom) and Susan Romero, grandson of Camilio Tafoya, and nephew of Grace Medicine Flower.

He specializes in miniature seed pots using traditional techniques like sgraffito (scratching designs into the clay surface) combined with painted elements. His work often depicts wildlife (such as birds, animals, and nature scenes), feathers, and geometric motifs on small, finely detailed polychrome (multi-colored) or blackware pieces. His output is somewhat limited due to a long career as a firefighter.
