Mary of Clopas is a figure mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible. She is often identified as one of the women present at the crucifixion of Jesus and is sometimes considered to be the mother of James the Less, one of the apostles. Her name appears in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, where she is listed among the women who witnessed the events surrounding the death and burial of Jesus. Traditionally, Mary of Clopas is thought to be the wife of Clopas, although little is known about her life. Some early Christian writings suggest she may have been related to Mary, the mother of Jesus, but this connection is not definitively established in the biblical texts. Her role highlights the presence of women in the early Christian community.
