Carol Guzy (born March 7, 1956) is an American news photographer for The Washington Post. She has won the Pulitzer Prize four times^.  One of four people to do so, and the only journalist with that achievement.

Guzy was born into a working-class family in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and she grew up there.

She graduated with an Associate degree in nursing in 1977 from Northampton Community College and planned to work as a nurse until a friend gave her a camera.

Besides her work in the Washington Post, Guzy's work has appeared on the Photography Channel.

In August 2007, Guzy's photos of animals left behind on the Gulf Coast, where she spent months in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, were included in a three-artist benefit exhibit titled "Lest We Forget: Three Perspectives on Hurricane Katrina" at the Discovery Too art gallery in Bethesda, Maryland.

Guzy lives in Arlington, Virginia
