Katharina Hauck is a British economist who is a professor and deputy director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Institute for Disease and Emergency Analytics at Imperial College London.

Her research concentrates on the economics of infectious diseases and how public health interventions and pandemic preparedness impact economies.

At Imperial College London, Hauck established the Jameel Institute-Kenneth C. Griffin Initiative for the Economics of Pandemic Preparedness.

She evaluated HPTN 071 (PopART), a cluster randomised trial of antiretroviral therapies for treating HIV in Zambia and South Africa.

[6] She found that the infections had broad-reaching financial impacts; affected individuals could not work, their children's education was interrupted, and their loved ones often became carers.
