Cathrine Marie Gielstrup née Morell (1755–1792) was a Danish stage actress. She was active at the Royal Danish Theatre in 1773–1792, and a member of the Det Dramatiske Selskab in 1777-79.

She was the daughter of the musician Lorentz Morell of the Royal Chapell orchestra. She is counted as among the elite of her profession at the time, famed for her soubrette roles, particularly within the plays of Holberg. She was praised for her ability to insert individuality and personality to even the most stereotypical roles. She married the actor Adam Gottlob Gielstrup.
