Kate Everleigh (1864–8 February 1926) was a serio-comic actress and singer of the late Victorian era who was a music hall and burlesque performer as well as appearing in pantomime and musical theatre. In America in 1877, with Lydia Thompson’s Company, she appeared in Reece and Farnie's burlesque ''Oxygen, or, Prince Fritz of Virgamen''〔Gänzl, Kurt.

Other appearances in the United States included a production of ''The Magic Slipper'' with the Colville Opera Company at the Bush Street Theatre in San Francisco in November 1879. A critic wrote of her performance, "Miss Kate Everleigh made a handsome Prince, and might perhaps have scored a success had she been compelled to act the part in pantomime".〔(Review of ''The Magic Slipper'' ), ''The New York Clipper'', New York, New York, 22 November 1879, p. 274〕 Everleigh also appeared in a burlesque with the Famous Colville Opera Burlesque Company at the California Theatre in San Francisco called ''Ill Treated Il Travotore, Or, The Mother, The Maiden, and The Musicianer'' (1880).〔〔(Play bill fin the collection of The Virtual Museum of the City of San Francisco )〕 In London she appeared in the burlesque ''The Babes, or, Whines from the Wood'' (1884) and as Captain Delaunay in the original London cast of ''Erminie'' (1885). The magazine ''The Theatre'' in 1885 stated that she had also appeared in the shows ''Nemesis'' (1885); ''The Bride of Song'' (1864), a one-act operetta with music by Julius Benedict and words by Henry Brougham Farnie,〔''The Morning Post'', 3 December 1864, p. 4〕 and ''Family Ties''.〔(Everleigh on The Cabinet Card Gallery website )〕 Everleigh acted in ''Eastward Ho!'' at the Opera Comique (1894).〔Wearing, J.P.
