Epifania "Eppie" Archuleta (January 6, 1922 – April 11, 2014) was an American master weaver and textile artisan at the annual Spanish Market in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
While the more traditional Chimayo and Rio Grande tapestries used diamonds and stripes in their designs, Archuleta specialized in more contemporary woven designs.
Examples of her work, including a tapestry depicting a wounded soldier during the Vietnam War, are on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.
Archuleta was a recipient of a 1985 National Heritage Fellowship awarded by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is the United States government's highest honor in the folk and traditional arts.
She was inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 1997.
