St. Katharine Pier is a river transport pier on the River Thames, in London, UK. It is operated by London River Services and served by various river transport and cruise operators.

It is situated on the north bank of the Thames, on the east side of Tower Bridge, and immediately in front of the Thistle Tower Hotel. The pier is about ten minutes walk from Tower Hill tube station.

St Katharine Pier should not be confused with the nearby St Katharine Docks, which is a private yacht marina and residential area.
