Thomas Ainslie Caterer (16 May 1858 – 25 August 1924) was a leading South Australian cricketer, Australian rules footballer, cricket administrator and educator of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Born in Woodville, South Australia to Thomas Caterer, a pioneer Adelaide teacher, mayor of Kensington and Norwood[1] and President of Norwood Football Club,[2] and Marina (née Mudie),[3] Caterer attended Norwood Grammar, the school founded by his father,[4] and the then newly opened University of Adelaide. In 1879, Caterer became the first graduate of the university, with a Bachelor of Arts.[5] Friends and well-wishers attempted to attend the graduation ceremony but were banned from doing so.[4]
