Katherine Nicole "Katie" Stengel is an American soccer player who plays as a forward for the Washington Spirit of the National Women's Soccer League and the United States U-23 women's national team. She attended Viera High School in Viera, Florida. She previously played for Bayern Munich, Wake Forest University and the United States Under-20 team that won the 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and the 2012 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship. Stengel completed her college career as the highest scoring player in Wake Forest history with 50 goals in 75 games, and she was a four-time All-ACC honoree and a three-time All-America, becoming in 2011 the first Wake Forest player to be named first-team All America.

With the United States, she won the 2012 Under-20 World Cup, appearing in four games and scoring three goals. In March 2014, she received her first full national team call-up from head coach Tom Sermanni.[1]

In January 2014, Stengel skipped the 2014 NWSL College Draft and instead joined the Los Angeles Blues of the since-disbanded USL W-League.[2] In June 2014, Stengel joined Frauen-Bundesliga side Bayern Munich.[3] She helped Bayern win the 2014–15 Frauen Bundesliga title, leading the team with nine goals.[4]

In December 2015, Stengel signed with the Washington Spirit.[2] In her first season with the team, she played in 19 regular season matches, starting 10, totaling 928 minutes. Stengel contributed four goals during the season, tied for second most on the team. [5]

Her younger sister Jackie plays for North Carolina State University and her father Scott played for the Air Force Academy.[6]
