Shiva Nath Katju (5 January 1910 – 9 September 1996) was an Indian lawyer, judge and an Indian National Congress politician.

He completed his primary education at the Bar High School in Jaora.
Subsequently, his family moved to Allahabad, where he attended the City A.V. School, Government Intermediate College and the University of Allahabad.
Katju married Girja (1913–1938), and after her death, Raj Kumari (1912–2006).
