Ana Catalina Pohl (born 2005) is a German taekwondo athlete and three-time European poomsae medalist.

Career
Pohl started practising the Korean martial arts taekwondo at the age of seven and trains at Dojang Frankfurt in Hessen, Germany.

In 2016, she took part in her first international competition, the Austrian Open Poomsae in Vienna, where she claimed second place in the individual cadet competition in traditional poomsae. This competition was the first tournament to have been assigned a G-ranking (G-1) under the Taekwondo Poomsae World Ranking system.

At the European Poomsae Championships in Antalya in 2019, Pohl became European Champion with the female cadets' team (three-person team) alongside teammates Adina Machwirth and Jessica Schober. She also won a bronze medal in the individual traditional poomsae competition. In 2022, she took part in the World Poomsae Championships in Goyang, where she placed fifth in traditional forms with Pia Hoffmann and Helena Silberhorn in the juniors' female team competition. She also participated in the juniors' individual poomsae competition, where she placed fourth in the preliminary round and fifthteenth in the semi-final, therefore she did not advance to the finale.

Pohl claimed her first senior German championship title with the freestyle team in 2022 and, at cadet and junior level, has been German champion four times and both runner-up and bronze medallist twice.

At the 2023 European Poomsae Championships in Innsbruck, Pohl, as part of the mixed team (consisting of five team members, at least two men and two women), won a silver medal in the seniors' freestyle competition alongside teammates Pia Hoffmann, Leah Lawall, Julius Müller and Jules Berger.
