Hans Cattini (January 24, 1914 - April 2, 1987) was a Swiss hockey player who was one of the best players in the country and Europe as a whole during the inter-war era.

He was a long-time member of the Swiss National Team, appearing for them at 10 major tournaments, including the 1936 and 1948 Winter Olympics.

Cattini formed a fearsome line together with his brother Pic Cattini and Bibi Torriani, both on HC Davos (who Cattini spent nearly his entire club career with) and the national team.

He was inducted into the IIHF Hall of Fame in 1988.
