Katharine Teresa Gun (née Harwood; born 1974) is a British whistleblower who worked as a linguist at the Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ; a British intelligence facility) from 2001 to 2003. She is known for having exposed a plan by the US government to spy on the United Nations shortly before a vote concerning America's illegal invasion of Iraq.

On January 23, 2003, Gun, who worked at GCHQ translating messages from Mandarin Chinese into English, discovered an email from American intelligence agent Frank Koza. Koza's email outlined an American plot to conduct surveillance on the United Nations offices in Angola, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Chile, Guinea and Pakistan to find out whether they would vote in favor of supporting the American invasion of Iraq. Much like the invasion, the plan is considered to have violated international law. Gun, outraged by the USA's actions, printed a copy of the email and took it home. Two days later, she gave the email to a friend who had several contacts in the press.

In February 2003, Gun attended a demonstration in opposition to the Iraq War. Several weeks later, she was surprised to see the email she had printed out on the front page of a newspaper. On March 5, Gun confessed to leaking the plot and was arrested for violating the Official Secrets Act. Gun's trial took place on February 25, 2004, where the charges against her were dropped after only half an hour due to the prosecution deciding not to present any evidence. Gun also received the Sam Adams Award, which is awarded to intelligence agents who take a stand for ethics and integrity.

As of 2020, Gun and her husband Yasar live in both Turkey and Britain. Her story was adapted into the film Official Secrets in 2019.
