Annette Del Zoppo (1936–2001) was a Southern California-based photographer, graphic designer, multimedia producer, business owner, and community activist.

In 1961, she began work in the office of Charles and Ray Eames where she worked from 1961 to 1970,[1] producing media and projects including films, presentations, and exhibits.[2] From the 1960s through the 1980s, she photographed and filmed the work of architect Paolo Soleri at both Cosanti and Arcosanti. Over a period of two years, as Director of Environmental Photography, Del Zoppo and her staff photographed all phases of the design program for the 1984 XXIIIrd Olympic Games in Los Angeles.[3]

In the late 1960s, she and Parke Meeke, her business partner, opened what has been referred to as the country's first vintage clothing store in the United States, named "Ephemera".[4]
