Wendy Maruyama (born 1952) is an American visual artist, furniture maker, and educator from California. She was born in La Junta, Colorado.^[1]

Maruyama was influential in the early period of post-modern artistic furniture. She challenges the masculine environments within the field of woodworking.^[2] Her work uses humor, social commentary, sculptural forms, and color to challenge the accepted notions of furniture. Conceptually her work deals with social practices such as her Japanese-American heritage, feminism, and wildlife endangerment in Africa.^[3] Maruyama served as the head of the Furniture Design department at San Diego State University for 25 years.^[3]
