Cathy Stonehouse (born 1966) is a British-born poet and writer who has lived in Canada since 1988.
Stonehouse grew up in Holmes Chapel, a village in the county of Cheshire in the North West of England. In 1988, having obtained a BA in English from Wadham College, Oxford, she won a Commonwealth Scholarship to study creative writing at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where she has lived ever since.
Her first volume of poetry, The Words I Know, was published by the now-defunct Press Gang Publishers in 1994. She edited Event magazine from 2001 to 2004.

In May 2011, she published a volume of short fiction, Something About the Animal. Her second volume of poetry, Grace Shiver, was published in January 2012. Stonehouse's debut novel, "The Causes", was published by Pedlar Press in 2019.
