Katherine Moore Porter (born January 3, 1974) is an American politician, law professor, and lawyer. She was a U.S. representative from California between 2019 and 2025.

She was a candidate for United States Senate in 2024. She campaigned for the seat that was held by Dianne Feinstein before she died. However, she lost the primary election because she wasn't one of the top two candidates.
