Thomas Ainslie Caterer (16 May 1858 – 25 August 1924) was a leading South Australian cricketer, Australian rules footballer, cricket administrator and educator of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Born in Woodville, South Australia to Thomas Caterer, a pioneer Adelaide teacher, mayor of Kensington and Norwood and President of Norwood Football Club, and Marina (née Mudie), Caterer attended Norwood Grammar, the school founded by his father, and the then newly opened University of Adelaide. In 1879, Caterer became the first graduate of the university, with a Bachelor of Arts. Friends and well-wishers attempted to attend the graduation ceremony but were banned from doing so.
