Kathie Allardyce (née Ellwood; born c. 1961)[1] is a Canadian curler from Winnipeg, Manitoba. She is a two-time provincial women's champion.

Allardyce (then known as Kathie Ellwood) and her rink of Cathy Treloar, twin sister[2] Laurie Ellwood and Sandi Asham won the first of her two provincial titles in 1987,[3] defeating the defending champion Darcy Kirkness rink in the process.[4] Her team then represented Manitoba at the 1987 Scott Tournament of Hearts, Canada's national curling championship. At the Hearts, she led Manitoba to an 8-3 round robin record, which put her in first place, with a berth in the final. In the final, she lost to team British Columbia, skipped by Pat Sanders, 9-3. A month later, Allardyce played in the 1987 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials to determine Canada's representative at the 1988 Winter Olympics where curling was a demonstration sport. The event was a disappointing affair for the Ellwood rink, which finished the event with a 2-5 record.[5]

Allardyce with teammates Cathy Overton, sister Laurie and Jill Proctor won her second provincial title in 1991,[3] defeating former World Champion Connie Laliberte in the final of the 1991 Manitoba Hearts.[6] At the 1991 Scott Tournament of Hearts, she had less success, leading her team to a 5-6 record, missing the playoffs.

Later in life, Allardyce was the fifth on the Manitoba senior women's championship team in 2012.[7]
