José Catieau (17 July 1946 – 30 November 2023) was a French professional road bicycle racer.

For the 1973 season, Catieau was a teammate of the great Spanish cyclist Luis Ocaña on the Bic team.

At the start of the 1973 Tour de France, Catieau won stage 1b into St.Niklaas in Belgium.

When the peloton went over a section of cobblestones at Querenaing, Catieau, Ocaña and three teammates together with a group of 5 riders attacked and got an advantage.

At the vélodrome in Reims, Cyrille Guimard won the sprint but Catieau took the yellow jersey as leader of the general classification and Ocaña had distanced many of the favourites for the general classification.
