Catherine Heather Ayrton (née Donaldson; 1934–2024) was a New Zealand coroner, journalist, and community heritage and conservation advocate. After becoming a Justice of the Peace in 1975 she was appointed coroner for the Bay of Islands, the second woman to hold the position. She was a journalist for the NZ Herald for 35 years.[1]

Ayrton joined the committee of the Northland branch of the New Zealand Historic Places Trust in 1984, and then Heritage Northland in 2015.[2] In 1998 she was awarded the Queen’s Service Medal for her community activities.[3]
