Catharina Conti (also known as Caterina Conti, born around 1950) is a German actress who was active mainly in erotic and popular entertainment films of the 1970s. Originally from Munich, she entered the film industry at the age of 18 or 19 and quickly became a recognizable presence in German and Austrian cinema of the era. She worked with well-known directors such as Franz Antel, Harald Reinl, Werner Jacobs, and Franz Josef Gottlieb, and was often cast in light comedies, adventure films, and sexploitation titles. After moving to New York around 1980, Conti appeared in a small number of underground productions before largely stepping away from filmmaking. She returned briefly in the early 1990s with a recurring role in the TV series Almenrausch und Pulverschnee.
