Catherine Charlotte Raper (c. 1766–1809) was an English pastellist. She received the Greater Silver Pallet Award from the Society of Arts for one of her works.
Raper was almost certainly the daughter of Henry and Catherine Raper (née Shepperd) who was baptized on 16 May 1766 in the church of St Andrew Holborn in London.[1] Her brother was the Royal Navy officer and natural history illustrator George Raper, who sailed as part of the "first fleet" to Australia in May 1787.[2][3]
