Grizabella the Glamour Cat is a starring role in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats. The show's signature number, "Memory," belongs to her.

Elaine Paige originated the role in the show's West End premier in 1981 (replacing Dame Judi Dench just four days before the production's opening night), and by Betty Buckley on Broadway in 1982. Buckley won the 1983 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her portrayal. Jennifer Hudson played Grizabella in the 2019 film version.
