Emma Lewis (also known as Emma Lewis Mitchell, 1931–2013) was a renowned Native American potter from Acoma Pueblo (often called "Sky City") in New Mexico. She was the daughter of the legendary Acoma pottery matriarch Lucy M. Lewis, who played a key role in reviving traditional pottery as an art form at the pueblo. Emma began creating pottery around 1952 and continued for over 40 years, becoming part of a talented family of potters that included her sisters Dolores Lewis Garcia, Carmel Lewis Haskaya, Mary Lewis Garcia, and Ann Lewis Hansen.

Emma was celebrated for her masterful use of classic shapes and tightly painted designs, often drawing inspiration from ancient traditions. She frequently incorporated Mimbres and Anasazi Revival styles, including black-on-white and polychrome (multi-color) pieces.
