Philippe Cattiau (born July 28, 1892 in Saint-Malo , † February 17, 1962 ) was a French fencer.

Cattiau first took part in the 1920 Olympic Games in Antwerp. At the age of 27 he won his first of eight medals. He won the silver medal in the individual foil, and a little later he was also able to win the silver medal with the foil team. Four years later he took part in the Olympic Games in Paris, where he was able to win the silver medal again in the individual foil, but this time he was more successful with the team and won the gold medal.

In his view, the 1928 Olympics were less successful. In the individual, he only came in fifth place, with the team, like eight years before, the silver medal. At the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, he took part in both the foil and the epee competitions. In both competitions he was able to win the gold medal with the team. In the individual tournaments it was only enough for a sixth and a ninth place. At the Olympics in 1936 there was only the bronze medal with the French epee team, the only competition in which he took part in 1936.

A stadium in a Paris suburb, Villeneuve-la-Garenne, is named after him.
