Katherine Anne Green OBE JP^[1] (born 2 May 1960) is a British politician serving as Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester for Policing and Crime since 2023. She previously served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Stretford and Urmston between 2010 and 2022. A member of the Labour Party, she served as Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities from 2015 to 2016, Chair of the Committees on Privileges and Standards from 2018 to 2020, and Shadow Secretary of State for Education from 2020 to 2021.

Under Ed Miliband's leadership, she was a junior Shadow Equalities Minister from 2011 to 2013 and Shadow Disabled People Minister from 2013 to 2015. Green was promoted to the shadow cabinet after Jeremy Corbyn became Labour leader in 2015, as Shadow Women and Equalities Minister. After losing confidence in Corbyn's leadership, she resigned in 2016 and chaired Owen Smith’s unsuccessful leadership challenge.

Green was elected to chair the Privileges and Standards Committees in 2018, and stood down upon her appointment as Shadow Child Poverty Strategy Minister by new Labour leader Keir Starmer in April 2020. Starmer promoted her to Shadow Education Secretary in June 2020, but she left the front bench in the November 2021 shadow cabinet reshuffle. She resigned her seat in parliament in November 2022 after being nominated by Andy Burnham as Greater Manchester's Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime.
