Carroll Smalley Page (January 10, 1843 – December 3, 1925) was an American businessman and politician. He served as the 43rd governor of Vermont and a United States senator.

A native of Westfield, Vermont, Page was the son of a successful farmer, businessman, and local official. After completing his education he went into business as a buyer and seller of raw animal hides, which were used in leather production. Page used pioneering advertising and marketing techniques to grow his business, and was eventually recognized as the largest calfskin dealer in the world. During the American Civil War, Page served in the Vermont Militia's 4th Regiment.

A Republican, Page served in local and state offices including treasurer of Lamoille County (1866–1872), member of the Vermont House of Representatives (1869–1872) and member of the Vermont Senate (1874–1876). From 1880 to 1891 he served as Register of Probate for Lamoille County.

In September 1890, Page was elected governor, and he served one term, October 1890 to October 1892. In keeping with the Republican Party's "Mountain Rule," Page did not run for reelection to a second term and returned to his business interests. In 1908, the Vermont General Assembly elected Page to the United States Senate. He won reelection in 1910 and 1916, and served until 1923. Page was not a candidate for reelection in 1922.

After leaving the Senate, Page retired to Hyde Park. He died in Hyde Park on December 3, 1925. He was buried at Hyde Park Cemetery.
