Cathy Overton-Clapham (born July 19, 1969 in Winnipeg, Manitoba as Cathy Overton; nicknamed "Cathy O") is a Canadian curler. She currently plays third for Jennifer Jones' rink.
In 1989, Overton-Clapham skipped Team Manitoba to a Canadian Junior Curling Championships win. This qualified her for the 1990 World Junior Curling Championships, which she won a bronze medal for Canada. Overton-Clapham had been to one other Canadian Junior Championship, having played third for Janet Harvey in 1986.
1991 was Overton-Clapham's first trip to the Scott Tournament of Hearts, Canada's national women's curling championship. She played third for Kathie Allardyce and the team finished with a 5-6 record.
In 1995 Overton-Clapham, returned to the Hearts, this time as a third for Connie Laliberte. The team won the Hearts that year, and went on to win the silver medal at the World Curling Championships, losing to Sweden's Elisabet Gustafson in the final. Overton-Clapham would also play at the 1996 and 1999 Hearts for Laliberte, finishing third both times.
In 2000, Overton-Clapham skipped her own team to the Hearts, and she finished in third place. She would return again to the Hearts in 2005, but as a third for Jennifer Jones. At the 2005 Scott Tournament of Hearts, the team won the championship, defeating Jenn Hanna of Ontario in the final. The team would go on to finish fourth at the 2005 World Women's Curling Championship. The team returned to the 2006 Scott Tournament of Hearts as Team Canada, but they lost in the final to Kelly Scott of British Columbia. At the 2007 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the team lost the semi-final. At the 2008 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Overton-Clapham won another national title.
