Iroquois Beaded Whimsey Wall Pocket is a type of antique Native American beadwork created by Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) artisans, primarily women, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

These "whimsies" (sometimes spelled "whimsy") are decorative, small hanging pouches or pockets made from fabric (often velvet or wool) heavily embroidered with colorful glass seed beads in raised, three-dimensional floral, geometric, or patriotic motifs. They were designed to hang on walls and serve practical purposes like holding matches, watches, thimbles, scissors, or other small items—though their elaborate beading made them more ornamental than strictly functional.
