Kate Marie Nash (born 6 July 1987) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, and actress. Her singles "Foundations" (2007) and "Do-Wah-Doo" (2010) charted at numbers 2 and 15 on the UK singles chart and her albums Made of Bricks (2007) and My Best Friend Is You (2010) charted at numbers 1 and 8 on the UK Albums Chart.

An attempt at diversifying her sound from indie pop prompted her record label to drop her and she released three subsequent EPs and her third and fourth albums, Girl Talk (2013) and Yesterday Was Forever (2018), on her own label. A fifth album, 9 Sad Symphonies, was released on Kill Rock Stars in 2024. Nash co-wrote "Poison", a hit for Rita Ora, and featured on works by Lethal Bizzle, Kano, Fidlar, Watsky, Holychild, Baby Dave, and Soft Play.
