Katharine Alice Jowett born Wheatley (1883–1972) was a British artist, best known for her cityscapes in Peking in the early to mid-20th century. Along with Bertha Lum and other expatriate European and American artists in China, she was an advocate of the shin-hanga style of woodblock printing. Mao Zedong was said to have appreciated and collected her art.
