Monika Correa (née Sequeira; born 1938) is an Indian textile artist known for her experimental weaves.[1] She is largely a self-taught weaver which has allowed her to break free from the inhibitions of an academically trained artist and explore the possibility of textile as a medium of art.[2]

Her textile creations are a part of leading collections at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York;[3] Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York;[4] Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis[5] and Tate, London[6] to name a few.
