Catherine Littlefield (1905–1951) was an American ballerina, choreographer, and artistic director. At the age of 27, she founded the famous American ballet school, The Littlefield Ballet (later known as the Philadelphia Ballet) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1935. It was the first American ballet company to achieve fame at both the national and international level. Littlefield's establishment was the first American ballet company to tour in Europe and produce the first evening-length (or three-act) edition of The Sleeping Beauty. Littlefield was also known for her production, “My Bicycle Girl” as a part of the American Jubilee spectacle at the New York World's Fair of 1940. In 1987, Littlefield became one of the first inductees into the National Museum of Dance’s Hall of Fame.
