Katharine Goodson (18 June 1872 – 14 April 1958) was an English pianist. Goodson studied the piano at the Royal Academy of Music in London; her London debut took place on January 16, 1897. The tours of Europe which followed placed her in the front rank of British female pianists of the era. Goodson made her American debut on January 18, 1907.
Married to composer Arthur Hinton, Goodson travelled to Australia in 1908 to perform several recitals in Melbourne and Sydney. Despite some trepidation on her part she was greeted with enthusiasm. Goodson died in London in 1958
