Napoleon Potyguara Lazzarotto, better known as Poty (Curitiba, March 29, 1924 — Curitiba, May 8, 1998) was a Brazilian artist. His murals - often made of ceramic tiles- can be seen in many locaties of Brazil as well as in Portugal, France and Germany.

Nonetheless, most of Poty's works were done in his hometown: Curitiba. Therefore, the artist mosaics, spread out through the capital of Paraná, are among the main icons of the city.
