Vera Chino Ely (born June 27, 1943) is a Native American potter from Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico. She is the youngest daughter of Marie Z. Chino, who was also a potter. Vera learned from her mother.[1]

In the late 1970s she worked with her mother doing fine-line painting on some of her pots. In 1979, she participated in the "One Space: Three Visions" exhibition at the Albuquerque Museum. A collection of her works can be seen at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[2]

Vera's sisters, Carrie Charlie (b. 1925), Rose Garcia (b. 1928), and Grace Chino (c. 1929–1994), are all award-winning [clarification needed] Acoma potters.[citation needed]
