Kitty Loftus (born Catherine Newman, 16 June 1867 – 17 March 1927) was an English dancer, singer and actor-manager. A soubrette of the 1890s and 1900s in comedies, burlesque, pantomime and musical plays, at the height of her career she performed with her Kitty Loftus Company. One critic praised her as "a tricky sprite and a fantastic elf." In her last years, she performed in variety in music halls and on tour.
