"Saint Catherine of Alexandria" is an early 16th-century oil painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino). Created circa 1507, the painting depicts Saint Catherine of Alexandria in a moment of mystical contemplation as she leans against a broken wheel, an instrument of her martyrdom. The work is renowned for its graceful composition, the serenity of its subject, and the harmonious use of color, which are characteristic of Raphael's artistry during this period.

The painting measures 72.2 cm × 55.7 cm (28.4 in × 21.9 in) and is currently housed in the National Gallery, London. It was acquired by the gallery in 1839. Raphael's portrayal of Saint Catherine is a testament to his ability to blend divine and human qualities, imbuing his figures with both spiritual nobility and natural beauty. The saint's pose, with her gaze turned heavenward and her hands elegantly resting on the wheel, creates a sense of dynamic movement and emotional depth that engages the viewer.

"Saint Catherine of Alexandria" is a prime example of Raphael's work during his Florentine period, a time when he was heavily influenced by the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The influence of Leonardo can be seen in the sfumato technique used in the painting, which gives the figure a soft, almost ethereal presence. The painting's provenance includes a history of ownership by notable collectors before its acquisition by the National Gallery.

As one of Raphael's devotional images, "Saint Catherine of Alexandria" continues to be studied for its stylistic elements and its place within the broader context of Renaissance art. It remains a significant work for understanding Raphael's development as an artist and his impact on the visual representation of saints in Western art.
