Cátia Isabel da Silva Azevedo (born 9 March 1994) is a Portuguese record-breaking sprinter specialising in the 400 metres, who competes for Portugal and Sporting CP. She won two gold medals at the 2018 Ibero-American Championships.
Her personal bests in the event are 50.59 seconds outdoors (Huelva 2021) and 53.10 seconds indoors (Madrid 2020). The first is the current national record.
Azevedo is also a nurse by training.
In October 2026, she was released from Sporting CP, following a contract proposal without improvement of conditions. The club argued that having been a mother recently would constitute a liability, and they wouldn't give her more than a one year extension, without increase in pay.
