Ignatius Anthony Catanello (July 23, 1938 – March 11, 2013) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. From 1994 to 2010 he served as an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn.

One of two children, Catanello was born in Brooklyn, New York, July 23, 1938 to Nicholas Catanello and Mary DeFalco. He attended Most Holy Trinity School and High School in Williamsburg. After high school he entered the novitiate of the Order of Augustinian Recollects in Kansas City, Kansas, and then spent a year in their seminary before deciding to pursue the life of a secular priest. He then returned to New York for studies at Cathedral College, the college-level seminary of the Brooklyn Diocese. He also attended St. Francis College, from where he earned a Bachelor's degree. He then did his theological studies at Immaculate Conception Seminary in Huntington.

Catanello was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Bryan McEntegart on May 28, 1966. He ministered successively in the parishes of St. Rita's, Long Island City; St. Helen's, Howard Beach; St. Ann's, Flushing; and Our Lady of Angels, Bay Ridge.
