Carolyn Schuler, later known by her married name Carolyn Schuler Jones, was an American competition swimmer born in 1943 who died in 2024. She was not seen as an outstanding competitor in her youth and rarely won individual national titles, but she was part of a Berkeley YMCA team that took the AAU national medley championship and set an American relay record. In August 1959 she set a world record of 2:38.1 in the 200 metre butterfly. At the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, at age 17, she won the women's 100 metre butterfly in an Olympic record time and a second gold medal in the 4x100 metre medley relay, which set a world record. She was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame in 1989.
