Gáspár Károlyi, or in Protestant usage, Károli (c. 1529, Nagykároly – 31 December 1591, Gönc) was a Hungarian Calvinist pastor. He was a major figure in the Reformed Church in Hungary. He edited the Vizsoly Bible.

He was born in Nagykároly (present-day day Carei) c. 1530 as Gáspár Radicsics. Károlyi was likely of Serbian descent and his parents might have fled north from the Délvidék due to the Ottomans' hazard.
