Ethel Wright Mohamed (October 13, 1906 – February 15, 1992) was an American artist, best known for her embroidered scenes of country life.

Her colorful works found a local audience through family members, and soon they were exhibited in regional museums as folk art.

[6] In 1974, her embroidered art was part of the Smithsonian Institution's Festival of American Folklife in Washington D. C. The next year, the Smithsonian commissioned a tapestry by Mohamed, for the Bicentennial Festival of American Folklife, and in 1976–77, twelve works by Mohamed were displayed at the Renwick Gallery.

[7] In 1977, director William R. Ferris featured Mohamed in the documentary film "Four Women Artists," produced by the Center for Southern Folklore, as one of the four Mississippi women in the title, along with writer Eudora Welty, quilter Pecolia Warner, and painter Theora Hamblett.

[8] Mohamed donated original works to charities and museums, including the American Heart Association and the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
