Margarita Josefina Aguilar Alcántara (1945-2026) was a Mexican folk artist from Ocotlán de Morelos, Oaxaca and is a member of the Aguilar family. She is mostly known for her muñecas (dolls), which she learned from her mother, but she also creates depictions of daily village activities, religious and folkloric scenes, famous figures and Dia de los Muertos statues. She was discovered by former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller during his work trip to Oaxaca in 1978, and Barbar and Lee Roper, who are folk art collectors from San Diego. When Josefina was 6, alongside her sisters, she was mentored by her mom and grandmother the craft of working with clay in hopes that it could provide for them. Her mother would pass away in 1968, then her father in 1976. Josefina would start to gain international traction in her early 20s. Her sisters Guillermina, Irene and Concepción, were also accomplished sculptors, each providing their own specialties. Josefina was the matriarch of her family of nine and taught them how to work with clay, but some are are tasked to focus on painting.
