Mark Swazo-Hinds (1959–2023) was a renowned Native American artist from Tesuque Pueblo in New Mexico. He was the son of the famous Tesuque Pueblo painter Patrick Swazo-Hinds (also known as José Patricio Swazo, 1929–1974), who often depicted themes from Pueblo heritage, including Kachina-related subjects in paintings, lithographs, and prints (such as "Kachina Masks" and "Coming of the Kachina Gods").
Mark Swazo-Hinds was primarily celebrated as a master fetish carver and sculptor, working mainly in stone materials like alabaster, limestone, sandstone, and turquoise-inlaid pieces. He created small intricate fetishes as well as larger monumental sculptures. His work blended traditional Tesuque/Pueblo motifs with contemporary techniques, and he exhibited widely, including at Santa Fe Indian Market since 1984, where he won awards. He studied at places like the Institute of American Indian Arts.
