Kathy Ahern (May 7, 1949 – July 6, 1996) was an American professional golfer.

Ahern was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She joined the LPGA Tour direct from high school in 1967 and won three tournaments on it, including one major championship, the 1972 LPGA Championship. Her other wins came at the 1970 Southgate Open and the 1972 George Washington Classic. She had an excellent short game.

She played little in the 1980s but remained a presence around the tour and sometimes caddied for 1988 LPGA Championship winner Sherri Turner. She died at the age of 47 at her mother's home in Fountain Hills, Arizona after a five year battle against breast cancer.
