Catherina Schell von Bauschlott (born July 17, 1944 in Budapest) is a Hungarian-born actress who rose to fame in various British film and television productions in the 1960s and 1970s. She acted under the name Catherine von Schell early in her career, but is best known by the name Catherine Schell.

Among her best-known early films were Moon Zero Two, a science fiction drama from 1969, and a small role in the James Bond film, On Her Majesty's Secret Service that same year.
