D.J. Fritz (Delbert Joseph Fritz Sr.), of the Hopi Sand Clan, was a mid-20th century Hopi Pueblo potter. His signed works, such as ladles/spoons, tiles, and small pots (including redware basket-style pieces), appear periodically on resale sites like eBay and Etsy. He is not one of the most famous Hopi potters (like those from the Nampeyo family), so detailed biographical information is limited, but examples of his pottery are documented in collector markets.
