Cat Girl is a 1957 black-and-white British-American fantasy film, produced by Herbert Smith and Lou Rusoff, directed by Alfred Shaughnessy, that stars Barbara Shelley, Robert Ayres, and Kay Callard. It was an unofficial remake of Val Lewton's Cat People (1942). American International Pictures released the film in the US on a double feature with The Amazing Colossal Man.

It was the first of two cat-related films starring Shelley, the other being The Shadow of the Cat (1961).[1]
