According to the Gospel of John, Mary of Clopas (Ancient Greek: Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Κλωπᾶ, María hē tou Clōpá) was one of the women present at the crucifixion of Jesus and bringing supplies for his funeral.

[1] In the latest official edition of the Roman Martyrology of the Catholic Church she is commemorated with Salome on April 24.
