Claudia Marisol Motta Zepeda (born May 31, 1971) is a Mexican voice actress. Notable roles include Doremi Harukaze in Ojamajo Doremi, Shō Marufuji in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Merle in The Vision of Escaflowne, and Pandora in the television edition of Saint Seiya: The Hades (Both Chapter Sanctuary & Inferno).

She is also notable for dubbing over the role of Bart Simpson in the Hispanic American dub of the animated sitcom The Simpsons starting with the ninth season, replacing Marina Huerta, who left the show due to salary issues. She voiced this role until the fifteenth season, after which she left due to the conflict between the National Association of Actors and New Art Dub. Marina Huerta returned to take Motta's place.

In one of the episodes of the thirtieth season, she provided Bart's singing voice, and two years later, beginning with the thirty-second season, she returned to voice the character, as well his mother Marge, since the latter character's original voice actress, Nancy MacKenzie, was no longer working for Disney (and died on June 14, 2024).
