Catalina Trico or Catalyntje Jeronimus Trico (also spelled Catilyn Trico; 1605 – 1689) was a Walloon colonist. Trico and her husband Joris Jansen Rapelje, both originally from Wallonia in modern day Belgium, were among the first European settlers in what was then the Dutch colony of New Netherland. Trico and Rapelje traveled on the ship Eendracht, arriving in New Netherland in 1624 and settling initially at Fort Orange.
