Jacqueline Ferrara (née Hirschhorn; November 17, 1929 – October 22, 2025) was an American sculptor and draftswoman best known for her pyramidal stacked structures. Her work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, The Phillips Collection, and the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, among others.
