Katrin Borchert (born 11 April 1969) is an East German-born Australian sprint canoeist who competed from the late 1980s to 2001.

Her opportunity arose when Fischer went on maternity leave after the Seoul Olympics; she won three gold medals at the 1989 World Championships in Plovdiv.

[2] Borchert and her coach, Kersten Neumann, went to West Germany for the 1990 season; this was a year prior to the German reunification.

In March 2003, Borchert decided to return to Germany to win nomination for the 2004 German Olympic team.

[2] She was prevented from competing for Germany at the 2003 World Championships through the Australian Canoe Federation not granting their permission quickly enough.
