The catch was actually made in the January 10th, 1982 NFC Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys, not the Super Bowl. The Niners went on to beat the Cincinatti Bengals in the Super Bowl.
The 49ers and the Cowboys have never met in the Super Bowl. You might be thinking of the legendary NFC Championship game played on January 10, 1982, when the 49er's Dwight Clark made "The Catch" for a last-minute 28-27 win over the Cowboys and a trip to Super Bowl XVI.

No.
Lots of possible contenders, but Dwight Clark made a reception which is referred to simply as "the catch" to win the 1981 NFC championship game before the 49ers first Superbowl. Another possible contender would be Franco Harris who caught the "immaculate reception" after multiple deflections, scoring a touchdown on 4th and long, to win an AFC championship game for the Steelers. Another great catch was from Eli Manning to David Tyree in Super Bowl XLII. This changed the momentum of the game and allowed the Lombardi Trophy to New York. Dwight Clark's catch was probably the greatest, since it destroyed one dynasty (the Cowboys) and started another (the 49ers). However, the "greatest" is always going to be a subjective choice.
