Katarína Listopadová (born March 22, 1993 in Bratislava) is a Slovak swimmer, who specialized in freestyle, butterfly, and individual medley events. She currently holds four Slovak records in the freestyle relays (both 400 and 800 m). Listopadova is also a resident athlete for J&T Sport Team Bratislava, and is coached and trained by Gabriel Baran.

Listopadova made her international debut at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics in Singapore, where she placed fourth in the 100 m freestyle (56.90), 50 m butterfly (27.38), and 100 m butterfly (1:00.35).

At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Listopadova qualified as Slovakia's youngest athlete and swimmer for the women's 200 m individual medley. She posted a FINA B-standard entry time of 2:16.42 from the Budapest Open in Hungary. She topped the first heat by more than half a second (0.50) ahead of Olympic veterans Cheng Wan-jung of Chinese Taipei and Emilia Pikkarainen of Finland, outside her entry time of 2:16.81. Listopadova failed to advance into the semifinals, as she shared a twenty-eighth place tie with Iceland's Eygló Ósk Gústafsdóttir in the preliminaries.
