Carolina Ruiz Castillo (born 14 October 1981) is a retired World Cup alpine ski racer from Spain. Born in Osorno, Chile, she represented Spain in four Winter Olympics and eight World Championships. She moved to Spain with her parents few weeks after she was born, specifically to Sierra Nevada (Granada). She also competed in the European cup and the junior world championships, where she won two medals.[1]

Ruiz Castillo secured her first World Cup victory in 2013, a downhill at Méribel, France. It was the first-ever victory in a World Cup speed event for Spain and the second career podium for Ruiz Castillo at age 31; her first was thirteen years earlier in a giant slalom.[2][3]
