Cathy Horyn (born September 11, 1956) is an American fashion critic and journalist, who worked for The New York Times until 2014, where she had the highly noted and provocative blog On The Runway". In 2015, she was appointed critic-at-large for New York Magazine's website The Cut, reviewing the Fall 2015 womenswear shows in New York and Paris. Horyn was only the second Times fashion critic, having succeeded Amy Spindler who retired in November 2003. She is a supporter of Belgian designer Raf Simons (who's working with LVMH group ).

Raised in Ohio, she started her career in 1986 working in journalism, at The Detroit News. Cathy Horyn then moved to Washington, D.C. in 1990 and worked at The Washington Post in fashion. She went to work for The New York Times in 1998. Magazines and newspapers to which she contributes include Vanity Fair, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and International Herald Tribune. She is known for her sharp, unflinchingly acerbic reviews, which resulted in her being banned from numerous designer shows, most notably Giorgio Armani and, as of 2012, Hedi Slimane's Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris.

In 2002, she received the Eugenia Sheppard Award by the Council of Fashion Designers of America for questioning the work and exposing the deal-making of Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
