Carrie Turner (1863 – October 12, 1897) was an American actress known for her stage performances in the 1880s and 1890s.[1]

Turner was born in Albany, New York, where she graduated from Albany High School.[2] She first came to the public's popular attention as a member of Daniel Frohman's company at the Madison Square Theatre on Broadway. While appearing in the successful Young Miss Winthrop it was revealed that she had married Albert J. His, a Swiss citizen. She retired from the stage for a time to move to Switzerland. After they divorced, His took their child back from the United States to Switzerland without approval, which caused a number of headlines.

Turner married John Mack in 1894,[3] to whom he was married at the time of her death at the Dansville sanitarium on October 12, 1897.[1] She is buried at the Albany Rural Cemetery, where her gravestone reads "She was a player, that taking her all in all we shall not look upon her like again."
