Kathryn Ross (born 25 June 1981)[1] is an Australian Paralympic rower. Her leg became disfigured after her father accidentally ran over her with a ride-on lawn mower on the family farm in Warrnambool when she was two.[2] Both her right knee and ankle joints are fused together.[1]

She took up rowing in 2006 and won the female single category in the national championships in 2007.[1][3] She was partnered with the winner of the male singles championship, John Maclean,[3] and went on to win silver medals with him at the 2007 Munich World Rowing Championships and the 2008 Beijing Paralympics in the TA2x events.[4][5] After Maclean's retirement, she partnered with Grant Bailey, winning a bronze medal with him at the 2010 New Zealand World Rowing Championships.[1] When Maclean returned to the sport in 2011, she partnered with him to win a bronze medal at that year's World Rowing Championships in Bled, Slovenia and two gold medals in the 2011 International Adaptive Regatta in Italy.[1]

Her partner at the 2012 London Paralympics was Gavin Bellis.[6] Bellis was slightly faster than Maclean at the Gavirate International Regatta in Italy in April 2012.[7][8] She did not medal at the 2012 Games.[4]

At the 2013 World Rowing Championships in Chungju, South Korea, she partnered with Bellis to win the gold medal in the Mixed Double Sculls TAMix2x. They were coached by Gordon Marcks.[9] With Bellis, Ross won back to back gold medals by winning the Mixed Double Sculls TAMix2x at the 2014 World Rowing Championships in Amsterdam, Netherlands.[10] This victory was ranked #39 in the International Paralympic Committee's list of moments of 2014.[11]

Ross and Bellis won their third consecutive Mixed Double Sculls TAMix2x title at the 2015 World Championships in Aiguebelette, France.[12]
