Dolores Lewis (also known as Dolores Lewis Garcia, b. 1938) is a respected Acoma Pueblo potter and daughter of the renowned Lucy M. Lewis, a key figure in the Acoma pottery revival. 

She is known for traditional hand-coiled Acoma pottery, often in black-on-white or polychrome (black-and-orange-on-white) styles. Her work frequently features fine-line geometric patterns, Mimbres-inspired designs (such as animals, insects, or figures), heart-line deer, hoof prints, lightning bolts, and other ancestral/Anasazi-influenced motifs. She typically signs pieces as "Dolores Lewis."
