Cita Potokar (28 November 1915 – 28 November 1993) was a Slovene painter also known for her illustrations of children's books. Many of her best known works draw from her experience as an internee during the Second World War as a result of her activities in the Slovene Liberation Front.

She won the Levstik Award for her illustrations of Branka Jurca's book Lizike za vse (Lollipops for All).
