St. Catharine, also known as Dr. Samuel A. Mudd House, is a historic house near Waldorf, Maryland. It is a two-part frame farmhouse with a two-story, three-bay side-passage main house with a smaller two-story, two-bay wing. It features a one-story hip-roofed porch across the facade added in 1928. It was at this house where Samuel A. Mudd treated the injured John Wilkes Booth, who was fleeing justice a day after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, following the defeat of the Confederacy in the American Civil War.

"St. Catharine" has been in the Mudd family since the 1690s. In 1974, St. Catharine was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.{{cite web|url=https://mht.maryland.gov/secure/medusa/PDF/NR_PDFs/NR-252.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: St. Catharine|date=September 1973|accessdate=2016-01-01 |author=Mrs. Frances Moure and Mrs. Ray C.
