Katie McCabe (born 21 September 1995) is an Irish international footballer who plays for Arsenal Ladies of the English FA WSL. She made her debut for the Republic of Ireland women's national football team in March 2015.
McCabe was playing for Raheny United when the Women's National League (WNL) was formed in 2011 and represented the club in the competition's first season. Over the next three seasons she won two league titles and three consecutive FAI Women's Cups with "The Pandas". She also represented the club in the UEFA Women's Champions League. McCabe missed four months of the 2013–14 season with a broken leg. In 2014–15 McCabe scored 23 WNL goals for Raheny, two behind top scorer Áine O'Gorman of UCD Waves.
For the 2015–16 season, McCabe remained with the club in their new guise as Shelbourne Ladies. In December 2015 she signed for London club Arsenal Ladies, rejecting competing offers from Glasgow City, Chelsea and Manchester City.
At the 2014 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship, McCabe featured as Ireland won their group, before crashing 4–0 to a Vivianne Miedema-inspired Netherlands in the semi-final.
