Carlo James Nash (born 13 September 1973) is an English former professional footballer and goalkeeper coach.
Nash started his career at North West Counties League clubs Rossendale United and Clitheroe, playing for the latter in the FA Vase final in 1996, before being signed by Crystal Palace for a fee of £35,000. He helped Palace to win promotion out of the First Division via the play-offs in 1997. He spent 1998 to 2001 with Stockport County before being sold to Manchester City for £100,000 in January 2001. He played 15 Premier League games for the club, either side of 25 appearances in the 2001–02 First Division title-winning campaign. He joined Middlesbrough for a nominal fee in August 2003 before moving on to Preston North End in March 2005. He featured 94 times for the club, playing in two unsuccessful play-off campaigns.
Nash left Preston to join Wigan Athletic for a fee of £300,000 in June 2007. However, after leaving Preston, he would play only 13 first-team games in the remaining seven years of his career. He spent time on loan at Stoke City in their Championship promotion-winning 2007–08 campaign, where he would play ten games. He otherwise spent the rest of his career as a back-up goalkeeper in the Premier League at Wigan Athletic, Everton, Stoke City and Norwich City. He picked up two FA Cup runners-up medals after being an unused substitute in the 2009 and 2011 finals, with Everton and Stoke City respectively. He went on to work as a goalkeeping coach at Oldham Athletic, Salford City and Port Vale. He is divorced with two children.
