جيري كارل (بالإنجليزية: Jerry Karl) هو مهندس أمريكي، ولد في 29 أبريل 1941 في مقاطعة يورك في الولايات المتحدة، وتوفي في 16 فبراير 2008 في بالتيمور في الولايات المتحدة. (ar) Jerry Karl (April 29, 1941, Jamaica, Queens, New York - February 16, 2008, Baltimore, Maryland), was a driver in the USAC and CART Championship Car series. Starting out in midget car racing and sprint car racing, he made his Champ Car debut in 1969 and qualified for his first Indy 500 in 1973 driving an Eagle chassis powered by a twin-turbo Chevrolet V8 engine fielded by legendary car owner Smokey Yunick. He raced for another team in 1974, but returned to drive for Yunick in 1974 and finished 13th at Indy. In 1980 he entered the CART series and began modifying his own McLaren chassis that he dubbed the McLaren-Karl.
