Catherine Tait (born 1958) is a Canadian business executive who currently serves as the president and CEO of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. She succeeded Hubert Lacroix for the position after being appointed on April 3, 2018, and beginning her mandate on July 3, 2018.

Tait is also the chair of the Global Task Force for Public Media, an initiative of the Public Media Alliance launched in September 2019.

In 2023, Tait notified the public that 10% of CBC staff would lose their jobs due to cut backs. Though when questioned on CBC News The National, Tait did not rule out executive bonuses. As such, Tait was summoned to the House of Commons to answer questions related to why executives would still be getting bonuses whilst 500 staff would lose their jobs.
