Sean Michael Carroll (/ˈkærəl/; lahir 5 Oktober 1966) adalah seorang pakar kosmologi dan profesor fisika yang mengkhususkan diri dalam energi gelap dan relativitas umum. Ia merupakan seorang profesor riset di Departemen Fisika di California Institute of Technology.^[1] Ia merupakan seorang kontributor blog fisika Cosmic Variance, dan telah menerbitkan jurnal-jurnal dan majalah-majalah saintifik seperti Nature, The New York Times, Sky & Telescope, dan New Scientist.

Ia muncul pada The Universe di History Channel, Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman di Science Channel, Closer to Truth (disiarkan di PBS),^[2] dan The Colbert Report di Comedy Central. Carroll adalah pengarang Spacetime And Geometry, sebuah buku pelajaran tingkat kelulusan tentang relativitas umum, dan juga merekam ceramah-ceramah untuk The Great Courses tentang kosmologi, fisika waktu, dan Higgs boson.^[3] Ia juga mengarang tiga buku:From Eternity to Here, The Particle at the End of the Universe, dan The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself.
