Mary Juan (1892–1977) was a highly acclaimed Native American potter from the Maricopa tribe (part of the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona). She played a pivotal role in the revival of traditional Maricopa pottery during the late 1930s, becoming one of the founding members of the Maricopa Pottery Cooperative in 1938. A cousin of fellow master potter Ida Redbird, Mary Juan was often praised as one of the finest Southwestern potters of her era, even by Redbird herself, who considered her superior in skill. She continued creating pottery into the 1960s, earning awards such as blue ribbons at competitions in 1960 and 1961.
