Kathleen Elsie Waddle (née Berry) (born March 17, 1900 - died February 14, 1942) was the principal of Raffles Girls' School of Singapore from 1937 until her death.

She was married on February 14, 1931 to Robert Alfred Waddle, who was four years her junior. The couple had one daughter, Jennifer Dorothy, born April 25, 1937. Waddle died aboard a merchant ship, the M.H.S. Vyner Brooke [1], which sank in the waters off Singapore as part of the Banka Island Massacre.

Raffles Girls' School created five school "houses," naming each one after its former principals. The yellow house is named Waddle in honour of her memory.
