Katherine is an electoral division of the Legislative Assembly in Australia's Northern Territory.

The electorate was first created in 1987, replacing the abolished Elsey seat, and derives its name from the Katherine River.

Reed retired in 2003 and was succeeded at a by-election by Fay Miller, who survived a large swing to Labor to retain the seat for the CLP.

She retired at the 2008 election and was succeeded by Willem Westra van Holthe, who picked up a swing large enough to revert Katherine to its traditional status as a safe CLP seat.

The 2012 election saw Westra van Holthe seemingly consolidate his grip on Katherine when he boosted his majority to 22.3 percent, making it the safest seat in the Territory.
