Catie Ball (born 1951) is a retired breaststroke and medley swimmer from the United States, who won her first Olympic medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics.

At the Mexico City Olympic Games, Ball was the world record holder in the 100 and 200 meter breaststroke, but she arrived at the Olympics with the flu and did not swim at her best. She won her only gold medal in the 400m medley relay. During the 1960s she was one of the best swimmers from the United States. It should also be noted that Ball attended the University of Florida.
