Shaaw Tláa, also known as Kate Carmack (c. 1862 – 29 March 1920) was a Tagish First Nation woman born near what is now Carcross, Yukon. She was the sister of Keish (Skookum Jim Mason) and married George Carmack.

She and her husband were fishing salmon at the mouth of the Klondike River in August 1896, when a party led by her brother came looking for her. The party then discovered gold in Rabbit Creek (later renamed Bonanza Creek), setting in motion the Klondike Gold Rush. Some accounts claim that Kate made the actual discovery.

She was abandoned by her husband in 1900, and lived the rest of her life in Carcross.
