CATOBAR (Catapult Assisted Take-Off But (nebo Barrier) Arrested Recovery) je systém označení charakteristik letadel pro jejich vzlet a přistání na letadlových lodích. Označením CATOBAR jsou myšlena letadla, která využívají pro asistovaný vzlet leteckého katapultu a přistávají na lodi za pomocí brzdicích lan. Systémem CATOBAR jsou označovány také letadlové lodi.
