Claudia Coari Mamani (born 1967) is a Quechua politician in Peru. She was a member of the Congress of the Republic of Peru between 2011 and 2014, representing the Peruvian Nationalist Party (Partido Nacional Peruano),[1] but was no longer a congresswoman by March 2018.[2]

In 2018 she was part of a delegation of indigenous women leaders from 10 countries in South America who traveled to Chile for the launch of a Food and Agriculture Organization campaign to eradicate hunger. She stressed the importance of family farms for food security, saying that in her area women took on most of this work.[3]

She was congratulated by Bolivian president Evo Morales for wearing the indigenous pollera colourful woollen skirt in Congress, with pride in her heritage.[4]
