{{Infoboks biografi}}
'''Katleen Deanna Battle''' (1948–) er en amerikansk [[sopran]]sanger, kjent fra flere av verdens ledende operascener.

Hun ble uteksaminert ved [[ University of Cincinnati |University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music]] i [[Ohio]] i 1971, og debuterte som konsertsanger året etter. I 1975 debuterte hun som operasanger på [[Michigan Opera Theatre]] - i rollen Rosina i ''[[Barberen i Sevilla]]''. Siden inntok hun flere av verdens mest kjente operascener, med operaer av [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]], [[Richard Strauss]], og [[Gaetano Donizetti]].

Battle har også opptråd som solist i lag med kjente amerikanske og europeiske [[symfoniorkester|symfoniorkestre]].

Hun var fast ansatt ved [[Metropolitan Opera]], men hennes karriere der endte brått i 1994, da hun mistet sin stilling - angivelig på grunn av samarbeidsproblemer med andre ansatte. Battle selv avviste disse påstandene, men det skulle gå 22 år før hun var tilbake, med ny konsert på Metropolitan i 2016.<ref name=NYT2016>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/arts/music/kathleen-battle-returns-to-the-met-after-22-years-it-was-worth-the-wait.html|title=Review: Kathleen Battle Returns to the Met After 22 Years.
