Kathleen Winters (1949–2010) was an American author and aviator. Originally from Toronto, her family immigrated to Georgia when she was aged six. She later moved to Minnesota and graduated from Metropolitan State University.

By age 19 she had both commercial pilot and flight instructor licenses. The holder of several state records for her glider flights, she was married to Jim Hard, a soaring pilot who held numerous records and awards of his own.

She wrote Anne Morrow Lindbergh: First Lady of the Air, a 2006 biography of Charles Lindbergh’s wife, emphasizing the subject's own distinguished aeronautical career. Winters was voted "Best Aviation Writing in 2008" by the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame. A second book, Amelia Earhart: The Turbulent Life of an American Icon, was in final preparation at the time of her sudden death from a cerebral hemorrhage.
