Algo Kärp (born 13 April 1985 in Tarvastu) is a former Estonian cross-country skier who competed from 2004 to 2018. His best World Cup finish was 16th in a 50km event in 2014 Oslo, Norway.[1] He represented Estonia at the 2010, 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics.

On 5 March 2019 Kärp confessed that, since 2016, he and Karel Tammjärv had used blood doping assisted by German sports doctor Mark Schmidt [Wikidata]. He admitted that he wasn't aware of the third Estonian in the doping scandal, Andreas Veerpalu, using blood doping.[2][3]
