Katie Anderton (born 16 September 1983) is an English football striker. Born in Preston, she represented Tranmere Rovers Ladies and spent several years with Blackburn Rovers Ladies before joining FA WSL club Doncaster Rovers Belles. After failing to make an appearance for Doncaster due to injury, Anderton returned to Blackburn in October 2011. She has represented England at junior level.
Anderton began her career with Preston North End Girls, later joining Tranmere Rovers Ladies. She joined Blackburn Rovers Ladies in 2003 and has been one of the most prolific goalscorers in the club's history. She captained the team during the 2003–04 season, when Rovers won promotion to the FA Women's Premier League Northern Division for the first time. In 2006 Rovers were promoted to the FA Women's Premier League National Division.
In February 2007, Anderton signed a three-month deal to play for American Women's Premier Soccer League (WPSL) team FC Indiana from May that year, returning to the UK in time for the start of the 2007–08 season. Indiana's coach Shek Borkowski already boasted a star-studded forward line, including Elena Danilova, Mónica Ocampo and Lauren Sesselmann.
