Howard Carston Catcheside (born 18 August 1899 in Sunderland, died 10 May 1987 in Wandworth) was an English rugby union player. He was nicknamed 'Catchy'. He won eight caps for England.

He played as a wing for Percy Park in Tynemouth and England.

He made his England debut on the 19th January 1924 against Wales. That year he became the first player to score a try in each round of the then Five nations championship with two tries coming against Wales. This feat was not equalled by another Englishman until 2002 by Will Greenwood.

His final game for England came against Scotland on the 10th March 1927.

Between 1932 and 1940 he was honorary treasurer of the Northumberland Rugby Union.
