Catherine Winkworth (September 13, 1827 - July 1, 1878) was an English translator. She best known for bringing the German chorale tradition to many English speakers with her translations of many hymns.
Born in Holborn, London, Winkworth lived most of her life in Manchester. She spent a year in Dresden, however, during which time she took an interest in German hymnody. Around 1854, she published her book Lyra Germanica, a collection of German hymns which she had chosen and translated into English. A further collection followed in 1858; in 1863, she published The Chorale Book for England, and in 1869, she followed this with Christian Singers of Germany. Winkworth died near Geneva, and was buried in Monnetier, in Savoy. She is commemorated as a hymnwriter with John Mason Neale on the Calendar of Saints of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on July 1.
