Santa Catalina is a neighbourhood in La Victoria District, Lima, Peru.

[5] In its beginnings, Santa Catalina was mostly corn fields, and along with neighbouring Balconcillo, it belonged to the Miraflores district.

[5] Some time later, in the year 2000, it was proposed in Congress that Santa Catalina would be separated from La Victoria, and together with the urbanisations of Balconcillo, Monte Carmelo, La Pólvora, Túpac Amaru and Apolo they would form a new district.

However, the project was shelved after the presidential vacancy process against Alberto Fujimori, that same year.

[5] Currently, the urbanisation has had a change in zoning, going from two or three-storey houses to residential buildings of 7 to 37 floors.
