Catherine H. Berndt (8 May 1918 – 12 May 1994), born in Auckland, was an Australian anthropologist. She published valuable monographs on Aboriginal Australia, including Changing ceremonies in Northern Australia (1950).
With her husband Ronald Berndt, they collected lots of art works in Australia as in Asia. The collection is conserved in the Berndt Museum of Anthropology, founded by themselves in 1976 (University of Western Australia). As a couple, they published several monographs including The Aboriginal Australians: The First Pioneers and Arnhem Land: Its history and its people.
