Ferdinand "Pic" Cattini (September 27, 1916 - August 17, 1969) was a Swiss hockey player who was a member of the Swiss National Team at nine major international tournaments, including the Olympic Games in 1936 and 1948.

Cattini was one of the best players, both in Switzerland and all of Europe, during the inter-war era. He formed a dynamic line with his brother, Hans Cattini, and Bibi Torriani.

The trio played together both on HC Davos, who Cattini spent his entire 20+ year club career with, and on the national team. In total, he scored 87 goals in international play for the national team.

Cattini was inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 1998.
