Julian Morton Carroll (April 16, 1931 – December 10, 2023) was an American politician from the state of Kentucky. A Democrat, he was a member of the Kentucky Senate from 2005 until 2020.

From 1974 to 1979, he served as the 54th Governor of Kentucky, succeeding Wendell H. Ford, who resigned to accept a seat in the U.S. Senate.[1] He was the first Kentucky governor from the state's far-western Jackson Purchase region, and his running mate Thelma Stovall was the first woman to be elected Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky.

Carroll died in Frankfort, Kentucky on December 10, 2023, at the age of 92.[2]
