Carl Edward Bouldin (born September 17, 1939) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who also played college baseball and college basketball for the University of Cincinnati, where he was a member of the NCAA Championship-winning 1960–61 Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball team. He holds the rare distinction of playing in an NCAA national championship game and in Major League Baseball the same year.

Bouldin was born in Germantown, Kentucky and grew up in Norwood, Ohio in Greater Cincinnati. He attended Norwood High School and played basketball for coach Dick Dallmer, who was an All-American at the University of Cincinnati, and baseball, graduating in 1957. He is Norwood's all-time leading scorer in basketball.

Bouldin attended the University of Cincinnati, where he excelled in both basketball and baseball. In basketball, as a sophomore in 1958–59, with the Bearcats led by coach George Smith and future Hall-of-Famer Oscar Robertson and his 32.6 points per game, Bouldin averaged 2.3 points and 1.0 rebound per game as a backup to starting guards Mike Mendenhall and Ralph Davis, who averaged 13.5 and 15.5 points, respectively. The Bearcats posted a 26-4 record and won the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) championship, and advanced to the NCAA Final Four, where they finished in third place nationally.

As a junior in 1959–60, Bouldin became a starting guard alongside Davis, with Bouldin averaging 5.8 points and 1.8 rebounds per game, with the team again led by Robertson and joined by new center Paul Hogue. The Bearcats went 28-2, won the MVC title and again advanced to the NCAA Final Four, where once again they had to settle for third place.
