Catherine Cornelia Waller (née Alexander; 1 December 1848 – 4 January 1959) was an American supercentenarian who might have held the title as the oldest living person at the time of her death but her age has not yet been validated by the GRG.

Catherine Alexander was born as Somerville, Tennessee on 1 December 1848 to Wilson and Jane Alexander. She married D T Waller in Shelby, Tennessee on 2 December 1875 and the couple soon thereafter settled in what was to become Luxora, Arkansas. Waller gave birth to three daughters, one of them named Luxora, whom the town was named after. D T Waller died in 1890, leaving Catherine a widow for the last 68 years of her life.

Catherine Waller died in Luxora, Arkansas on 4 January 1959, aged 110 years, 34 days.
