Cataby is a tiny townsite located some 170 km north of Perth, Western Australia on the Brand Highway. The area was apparently once called West Dandaragan [http://getaway.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=52291] , with the town of Dandaragan located 17km to the east.

Cataby is perhaps best known by travellers as a rest-stop on the journey to such locations as Geraldton, or the Pinnacles Desert within the Nambung National Park near Cervantes.

Tiwest Joint Venture have a titanium mine site at Cooljarloo, near Cataby. Concentrate is transported by road train to the processing facility at Chandala, near Muchea.
