Catalina Peláez (born September 4, 1991, in Bogotá) is a professional squash player who represents Colombia. She reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 56 in October 2015.[1]

In 2003, she was injured in a car bomb explosion at Club El Nogal in the Colombian armed conflict. Her injuries prevented her from walking for about two months, and from playing squash for about five months. She has spoken of how all she could think of was to get better to be able to return to sports. "Sports was my motivation and my salvation during those hard times."[2]
