Catherine Scorsese (née Cappa;[1] April 16, 1912 – January 6, 1997) was an American actress.

She began acting when her son Martin Scorsese cast her in his short film It's Not Just You, Murray!

She is perhaps best known for her appearance in her son's film Goodfellas as Mrs. DeVito, the mother of Joe Pesci's character Tommy.

Catherine grew up in a three-room apartment on Elizabeth Street, on the outer reaches of Manhattan's Little Italy, which was shared with 14 people, including boarders and relatives.

The experience of growing up in Little Italy among first- and second-generation Italian Americans had a profound influence on her son Martin, who revisited their attitudes, values and way of life in his 1974 documentary, Italianamerican.
