Carmen Salvino (born 1933 in Chicago) is an American professional ten-pin bowler, inventor and author, and a founding member of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA). Nicknamed the PBA's Original Showman, he won 17 PBA Tour titles, among them the 1962 PBA National Championship, where he beat Don Carter in the final, and two PBA Senior Tour titles including the 1984 Senior National Championship.
