Muriel Evelyn Coleman (1917–2003) was an American designer who was a member of the Pacific Design Group based in California. She designed furniture through the material scarcity of post-World War II, and used rebar, metal rods and strips in her minimalist designs. Her works were included in the Autry National Center's California’s Designing Women, 1896–1986 exhibition.
