Priscilla Namingha Nampeyo (1924–2008) was a respected Hopi-Tewa potter from Polacca on First Mesa, Arizona, known for her traditional Hopi Pueblo pottery. She belonged to the renowned Nampeyo family of potters. Great-granddaughter of the legendary Nampeyo of Hano (often called the "Old Lady" or Nampeyo), who revived Hopi pottery in the late 19th/early 20th century by drawing on ancient Sikyatki designs. Daughter of Rachel Namingha Nampeyo and Emerson Namingha. Granddaughter of Annie Healing Nampeyo and Will Healing. Sister to other potters, including Dextra Quotskuyva Nampeyo. She passed on the tradition to her own daughters and family members (e.g., Jean Sahmie, Rachel Sahmie, Nyla Sahmie, Randall Sahmie, Bonnie Chapella Nampeyo), many of whom became award-winning potters.
