Cathryn Sophia (foaled April 2, 2013) is a retired American Thoroughbred racehorse who won the 2016 Kentucky Oaks. After wide-margin wins on both her starts as a juvenile, the filly won the Forward Gal Stakes on her first appearance of 2016 and followed up in the Davona Dale Stakes. She sustained her first defeat when odds-on favorite for the Ashland Stakes but rebounded to win the Oaks on May 6.

Cathryn Sophia is a bay filly bred in Maryland by Robert Manfuso. She was sired by Street Boss, a sprinter who won the Bing Crosby Handicap and the Triple Bend Handicap in 2008. The best of his other progeny have included Danza (Arkansas Derby) and The Quarterback (Newmarket Handicap). Cathryn Sophia's dam Sheave was an unraced daughter of the 2003 American Horse of the Year Mineshaft, and a distant female-line descendant of the 1923 Kentucky Oaks winner Untidy.

In September 2014 the yearling filly was consigned to the Fasig-Tipton Mid-Atlantic Eastern Fall sale and was bought for $30,000 by Charles J Zacney. She entered the ownership of the Zacney's Cash Is King Stable. Cathryn Sophia has been trained throughout her racing career by John Servis, best known as the trainer of Smarty Jones.

Cathryn Sophia began her track career in a six furlong maiden race at Parx on October 30, 2015 and won by twelve and three quarter lengths from eight opponents. On December 5 she faced better opposition in the Gin Talking Stakes over seven furlongs at Laurel Park and won by more than sixteen lengths from Prognosis.
