Katja Maria Riosianu Medbøe (3 December 1945 – c. 13 November 1996) was a Norwegian actress.

In December 1996, Medbøe's sister, Wenche Medbøe, announced that Katja had been missing for three weeks, and made a public appeal for tips. As a result of a head injury she had experienced pain from the stage lighting. On 12 November she had left the hospital and not been seen since.[3] On 3 May 1997, she was found dead in Nordmarka – a forest area north of Oslo.[1] Medbøe had two children.[3] The cause of death was, according to her daughter, Eline Medbøe, suicide.[4]
