Frieda Poleahla (also spelled variations like Paleghla or similar phonetic renderings) was a noted Hopi Pueblo potter (c. 1918–1994), from Polacca Village on First Mesa, Arizona. She belonged to the Fire/Coyote Clan and was active primarily from the 1950s to around 1990.

 

She is recognized for traditional Hopi pottery, often featuring polychrome (multi-color) designs, black-on-red ware, and Sikyatki Revival-style motifs. Common forms include bowls, jars, seed jars, and vases with geometric patterns, rain birds, and other symbolic elements typical of Hopi ceramics. Her pieces are usually signed on the base.
