Kelvin Cato (born August 26, 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia) is a professional basketball player in the NBA. His career was at its highest point while he played for the Houston Rockets. He is currently playing the center position for the Orlando Magic.

Drafted 15th overall in the 1997 NBA Draft by the Dallas Mavericks, Cato's draft rights were immediately traded to the Blazers for the draft rights to Chris Antsey and cash considerations. Cato averaged 3.8 and 3.5 points per game in his two seasons in Portland before being bundled in a six-for-one deal with the Rockets that sent Scottie Pippen to the Blazers.

He spent five years in Houston, averaging a career-high 8.7 points per game in 1999-2000, and started all but two of the games he played in both the 2001-02 and 2003-04 seasons.
