Papago tray baskets (also called Tohono O’odham tray baskets) are traditional shallow, open coiled baskets made by the Papago people—now more commonly known as the Tohono O’odham—of the deserts of southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico.

These trays are part of a long-standing coiled basketry tradition. They were primarily practical household items used for food preparation (cutting, mixing, or holding ingredients), winnowing grains/seeds, serving, and sometimes ceremonial purposes (such as by medicine people for food/drink during healing or salt-gathering rites). They functioned much like pans, bowls, or plates.
