The name Carla has been used for eight tropical cyclones worldwide: two in the Atlantic Ocean and six in the West Pacific Ocean.
In the Atlantic:
- Tropical Storm Carla (1956) – produced gale-force winds over New England
- Hurricane Carla (1961) – second most intense storm to ever strike the Texas coast; caused over $2 billion (2005 US dollars) in damages
The name Carla was retired after the 1961 season due to its significant damage in Texas. It was replaced with Carol for the 1965 season.

- Typhoon Carla (1965) (10W, Goring)
