Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley is a municipality in the Memphrémagog Regional County Municipality in the Eastern Townships region of Quebec, Canada. Located along Quebec Route 108 on Little Lake Magog, it is the home of the "Marais" birdwatching sanctuary, the Eglise Sainte Catherine de Hatley, as well as the Dominique Savio primary School.

Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley was formerly known as "Katevale". As the hometown of producer Franklin Raff, pastoral Sainte-Catherine-de-Hatley is frequently depicted on G. Gordon Liddy's syndicated talk radio show as an otherworldly, Franco-Catholic redoubt in a predominantly Anglo-Loyalist region of Quebec.
