Spotted Elk (Lakota:
Uŋpȟáŋ Glešká, sometimes spelled OH-PONG-GE-LE-SKAH or Hupah Glešká: 1826 – December 29, 1890), was a chief of the Miniconjou, Lakota Sioux.
He was a son of Miniconjou chief Lone Horn and became a chief upon his father's death. He was a highly renowned chief with skills in war and negotiations. A United States Army soldier, at Fort Bennett, coined the nickname (Si Tȟáŋka) – not to be confused with (also known as Ste Si Tȟáŋka and Chetan keah).
