Katalin Anna Kulcsár (born 7 December 1984) is a Hungarian football referee. She is 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m) tall and took charge of her first international match in September 2004, Malta versus Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] She refereed the final of the 2009 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship.

Economist Kulcsár's father tried to dissuade her from becoming a referee. She eventually reached the top division of male football in Hungary, the Nemzeti Bajnokság I, officiating a match between BFC Siófok and Honvéd in 2011.[2] She was selected by FIFA for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.[3][4][5]

At the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, Kulscár officiated the group-round match between New Zealand and China. She awarded China a penalty kick, charging Betsy Hassett of New Zealand with a hand ball in the penalty area. Replays appeared to show no hand-ball contact. Wang Lisi converted for China and the game ended in a 2–2 draw; China advanced to the knockout round, while New Zealand were eliminated.[6][7]
