Kembra Pfahler (born August 4, 1961) is an American interdisciplinary artist and rock musician. She has been called the "godmother of modern day shock art".

Pfahler's film work is associated with Nick Zedd's Cinema of Transgression. As a musician, she leads the band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black, who are inspired by glam, punk, shock rock and the American actress Karen Black. As a visual and performance artist, Pfahler is known for self-portraits. As a result of having participated with the North-American artists Anohni, Johanna Constantine, and Bianca and Sierra Casady of CocoRosie in 2014, she co-authored 13 Tenets of Future Feminism that contains thirteen propositions engraved into rose quartz discs.
