Catherine Butterfield (born February 5, 1958 in Manhattan, New York City, New York) is an American playwright, TV/film writer and actress. Her play Joined at the Head was performed at the Manhattan Theatre Club in 1992 and won the Robert L. Stevens/Kennedy Center award for excellence, as well as being published in Best Plays of 1992-93 (ISBN 0-87910-173-3). Mel Gussow wrote, "In this, her first full-length play to be presented in New York, Butterfield is revealed as a playwright with a refreshing talent for probing the reality of relationships. In a manner related to that of Tom Stoppard and John Guare, the work deals enticingly with truth and fiction... a vibrant reflection on life and art." (New York Times, November 19, 1992, "When an Old Friendship Is More Than It Seems".) Subsequent award-winning plays include Life in the Trees (Davie award—Best new play in regional theatre) and The Sleeper (2004 Kaufman and Hart Prize for new American comedy.)
