Carl Speyer (1845–1???) was a German socialist active in Germany, London and the United States of America.[1]

He was a member of the board of the Arbeiter Zeitung and secretary of the Vereingte Tischler New Yorks, a German joiners union based in the city,[2] as well as a founding member of the International Labor Union established in Paterson, New Jersey in December 1878.[3]
