Kathleen Marie "Kathy" Hillis was a houseguest on Big Brother 12 (US).

Despite being a police officer, Kathy's physical abilities were often made fun of by the other houseguests. After Matt Hoffman used his Diamond Power of Veto to save himself, he chose Kathy to be his replacement. She was evicted by a vote of 5–0, placing 8th and becoming the second member of the Jury.
