Clarissa Tafoya is a contemporary potter from Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico. She creates traditional hand-coiled pottery, specializing in carved redware and blackware pieces featuring unique, innovative shapes.

She learned the craft from her mother, Rose Tafoya, and her grandmother, Lucaria Tafoya. In 2001, she married Timothy Roller (a potter and grandson of the renowned Margaret Tafoya and son of Toni Roller), connecting her to one of Santa Clara's most famous pottery lineages. She has been actively potting for decades, with work appearing in galleries and collections since at least the late 20th century.
