Katemcy is an unincorporated community on Katemcy Creek in Mason County, Texas, United States. The community is located on Ranch to Market Road 1222, one mile east of U.S. Highway 87. The creek and the community were named after Penateka Comanche Chief Ketemoczy (Katemcy), who gave John O. Meusebach the nickname El Sol Colorado (The Red Sun) because of his red hair.
