Ponponio Lupegeyun (also spelt Pomponio; c. 1799 – 1824) was a Miwok insurgent, who served as the leader of a band of Indigenous Californians who called themselves Los Insurgentes and rebelled against Spanish and then Mexican rule in Alta California. Under his leadership, they raided settlements and ranchos between the areas of Sonoma and Soledad in the early 19th century.

Pomponio State Beach, Pomponio Creek, south of San Gregorio, and the Pomponio Trail in Pescadero Creek Park, San Mateo County, were named for him.
