Katherine Grainger MBE (born 11 December 1975 in Glasgow) is a Scottish rower.

She won silver at the 2004 Summer Olympics in the coxless pair with Cath Bishop, and silver at the 2000 Summer Olympics in the women's quadruple sculls.

Grainger has also won five medals at World Championships. The first of these was a bronze in 1997 in the eight, then a gold with Bishop in 2003, a gold in 2005 with the quadruple scull, with Frances Houghton, Sarah Winckless, and Rebecca Romero, and in 2006 her quadruple scull were promoted to gold following a drugs test on the winning Russian crew. This quad had Debbie Flood instead of Romero, who had retired after the 2005 world championships. Another gold came in 2007, again in the quadruple sculls, with Annie Vernon replacing the injured Sarah Winkless.

She has also won the Rowing World Cup in the Quadruple Scull in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

Grainger has an Honours law degree from Edinburgh University, a Master of Philosophy degree in Medical Law from Glasgow University and is currently studying for a PhD in law at King's College London.

She was elected as Honorary President of the Scottish Amateur Rowing Association in November 2005.

She was created a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) on 17 June 2006.
