María del Carmen Herrera Gomez (born 26 September 1974 in Málaga), commonly known as Carmen Herrera, is a judo athlete from Spain.

Personal

Herrera has visual impairment and is a B3 classified sportsperson. In December 2013, she attended an event marking Spanish insurance company Santa Lucía Seguros becoming a sponsor of the Spanish Paralympic Committee, and consequently Plan ADOP which funds high performance Spanish disability sport competitors. She chose to attend the event because she wanted to show support for this type of sponsorship.

Judo

She competed in judo at the 2004 Summer Paralympics, 2008 Summer Paralympics and 2012 Summer Paralympics. She was won a gold in the Up to 70 kg women's group at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Games. In 2013, she was working to qualify for the 2016 Summer Paralympics, although she couldn't qualify.

In October 2011, she competed in a regional Spanish national vision impaired judo event in Guadalajara. In November 2013, she competed in the Open Judo Tournament Guadalajara in the women's less than 70 kilos group.

She is one of the two female paralympic judokas to win three gold medals in para judo.
