Catherine Mai-Lan Fox, born December 15, 1977 in Detroit, Michigan, is an American former swimmer who competed for Stanford University, and won two gold medals swimming freestyle at the 1996 Summer Olympics, one in the 4x100 freestyle relay and one in the 4x100 medley relay.[1]

She is of Vietnamese and European descent.[3] Her father, Thomas C. Fox (editor and former publisher of the National Catholic Reporter), worked in Vietnam for International Voluntary Services from 1966 to 1968, where he met Catherine's mother, To Kim Hoa, a social worker in Can Tho who married Fox in South Vietnam on January 16, 1971. The family moved to Detroit to work for the Detroit Free Press in 1972 where Catherine was born, before later moving to Washington D.C. in 1978 to work for the Washington Star. The family moved to Kansas City in 1980. Catherine would become the first U.S. Olympic swimmer of Vietnamese-American heritage.[4][2]
