(en) Flora Molton, geboren als Flora Rollins (Louisa County (Virginia), 12 maart 1908 – Washington D.C., 31 mei 1990), was een Amerikaanse straatzangeres en steelgitariste van gospelmuziek en blues. Ze zong en speelde steelgitaar in de bottleneck-stijl die vaak wordt gebruikt door landelijke bluesmuzikanten en ze speelde mondharmonica en tamboerijn. Molton werd gedeeltelijk blind geboren vanwege staar en was de dochter van een dominee. Ze zong en speelde steelgitaar in de straten van Washington D.C. en trad pas laat in het leven op in formele locaties. Molton toerde in Europa tijdens de jaren 1980 en bleef tot een paar maanden voor haar dood optreden als straatzangeres. (nl)
