Shlomo Carlebach (August 17, 1925 – July 21, 2022) was a German-born American Haredi rabbi and scholar.

Carlebach was appointed mashgiach ruchani (spiritual supervisor) of the Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin by its rosh yeshiva (dean) Yitzchak Hutner, following the departure of the previous mashgiach, Avigdor Miller. He was later terminated from this position during a power struggle with Hutner's disciples.

Carlebach was a cousin of the composer and musician Shlomo Carlebach.[1]
