Fayeeza Kathree-Setiloane (born 19 August 1965) is a South African judge of the Supreme Court of Appeal. She joined the appellate court in December 2023 after 13 years in the Gauteng High Court. Before her appointment to the bench in October 2010, she practiced as an advocate of the High Court in Johannesburg; she was involved in constitutional litigation, including through the Legal Resources Centre, and also served a stint in corporate advisory at Werksmans.

The Judicial Service Commission has twice nominated Kathree-Setiloane for appointment to the Constitutional Court of South Africa, where she was an acting justice in 2017 and where she clerked for Justice Yvonne Mokgoro in 1995.
