Katarzyna Labouré, fr. Catherine Labouré (ur. 2 maja 1806 w burgundzkiej wiosce Fain-lès-Moutiers, zm. 31 grudnia 1876 w Paryżu), francuska mistyczka katolicka, święta Kościoła katolickiego, szarytka.
Medalik maryjny upowszechnił spowiednik, ks. Aladel; sama zakonnica zajęła się pracą w hospicjum w Paryżu, gdzie spędziła resztę życia.
Nazwę "cudowny medalik" zatwierdziła Stolica Święta, a papież Leon XIII dekretem z dnia 23 lipca 1894 zezwolił na coroczne obchodzenie święta „Objawienia Cudownego Medalika” 27 listopada.
Beatyfikacji Katarzyny dokonał papież Pius XI, 28 maja 1933, a kanonizacji Pius XII w 1947.
