Lynne Yamamoto (born 1961) is a New England-based artist and educator known for sculpture, architectural structures and installations. Her work uses material and spatial strategies to connect ordinary personal histories and objects to broader events and sociocultural themes such as migration, cross-cultural influence, nationality, labor and domestic life. Art historian Margo Machida writes of her work, "Through evocative assemblies of objects, a hands-on artisanal use of materials and a research-based investigative approach, the artist suggests the generative possibilities of the local when conceived within larger contexts."

Yamamoto's work is held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, Museum of Modern Art and Whitney Museum, among others.
