Catfish is a song written Bob Dylan and Jacques Levy. It was originally recorded for Dylan's 1976 album Desire, but was not released until 1991 on The Bootleg Series Volumes 1–3 (Rare & Unreleased) 1961–1991. "Catfish" was a tribute to future Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Hunter (better known as Catfish Hunter).

Joe Cocker covered the song and included it on his 1976 album Stingray and Kinky Friedman released a live version on his Lasso from El Paso album. Albert Castiglia covered the song on his These Are the Days (2008) album.
