Das Kattegat ist das nordwestliche Seegebiet der Ostsee. Im Norden stößt es an den Skagerrak (Nordsee), im Süden wird es durch das Seegebiet Belte und Sund begrenzt. Die westliche Grenze ist Jütland (Dänemark), die östliche Schweden.
Der Tidenhub der angrenzenden Nordsee macht sich auch im Kattegat bemerkbar, ist aber mit einer Wasserstandsänderung von ungefähr 0,3 m gering. Die durch den Tidenhub erzeugte Strömung ist gering und wird meistens von der durch den Wind und den Seichen entfachten Strömung überlagert. Der Strom setzt bei Westwind überwiegend nach Süden, sonst nach Norden.
Bei der Navigation ist der Schiffahrtsweg von Skagen zum großen Belt zu berücksichtigen.
Das Kattegat liegt als Seegebiet A1 innerhalb der Sprechfunkreichweite einer UKW-Küstenfunkstelle.
