Carlton Ettore Francesco Myers (* 30. März 1971 in London, Vereinigtes Königreich) ist ein ehemaliger italienischer Basketballspieler. Myers, dessen Vater aus dem Karibikstaat St. Vincent und die Grenadinen stammt und der in den ersten neun Jahren seines Lebens in London aufwuchs[1], gehört neben Weitspringerin Fiona May zu den erfolgreichsten italienischen Sportlern afro-karibischer Abstammung und ist ein prominenter Kritiker des unter italienischen Sportanhängern teils weit verbreiteten Rassismus'. Seine Wahl zum Flaggenträger der italienischen Mannschaft bei den Olympischen Spielen 2000 wurde allgemein als Zeichen gegen diesen Rassismus aufgefasst.
