Carina Horn (born 9 March 1989) is a South African sprinter. She competed in the 60 metres at the 2014 IAAF World Indoor Championships reaching the semifinals.

Horn is currently serving a six year competition ban due to expire in March 2029 following an anti-doping rule violation sanction.

Anti-doping rule violations

Horn has been issued with two anti-doping rule violations during her career. Her first ban from 2019 to 2021 was for the unintentional use of LGD-4033 and Ibutamore. Her second ban of six years followed an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for clenbuterol at a race meet in Spain in 2022.
