Lorraine Williams (also known as Lorraine Yazzie or Lorraine Williams-Yazzie, 1955–2024) was a prominent Diné (Navajo) potter recognized as one of the great innovators in contemporary Navajo pottery.

 

Born in Sweetwater, Arizona (near Kayenta and the Four Corners area) on the Navajo Nation, she was not raised in a pottery-making tradition. Her father was a medicine man and her mother an herbalist. She began working with clay around 1980 after marrying George Williams (son of renowned Navajo potter Rose Williams) in 1977. She learned by observing her mother-in-law and experimenting.
