Catherine 'Katie' Greves (born 2 September 1982 in London) is an Olympic Games silver medallist British rower, triple Olympian and reigning European Champion.

Having come fifth at both the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, she rowed at bow in the Team GB crew that won an historic silver medal in the women's eight at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. This was the first Olympic medal that Team GB had ever won in this category.

Katie represented Headington School, Oxford Boat Club and then University of London Boat Club whilst studying, followed by Leander Club for the majority of her international career. She is a life member of Wallingford Rowing Club.

Her sister, Caroline, rowed at bow for Osiris in the 2015 reserve Women's Boat Race, and in winning became the first woman in history to cross the finish line of The Championship Course on the Tideway.
