Catherine (Cath) Bishop (born 22 November 1971) is a former British rower.

She was educated at Westcliff High School for Girls. Bishop has a BA in modern languages from Pembroke College, Cambridge, a master's in international politics from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth and a Ph.D. in contemporary German literature from the University of Reading.

Bishop won medals at the World Championships twice, a silver in 1998 in the women's pair with Dot Blackie, and then in 2003 she won the gold, again in the pair, with Katherine Grainger.
