Carl Frederick Mengeling (born October 22, 1930) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Lansing from 1996 to 2008.
Carl Mengeling was born in Hammond, Indiana, as the second of the four children of Carl and Augusta (née Huke) Mengeling, both German immigrants. He was raised as a Lutheran but later baptized as a Catholic at the age of nine. Mengeling attended St. Mary Elementary School in Griffith, and graduated from Griffith High School in 1948, whence he entered St. Meinrad College and Seminary.
He was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Andrew Grutka on May 25, 1957, as one of the first priests of the Diocese of Gary. Mengeling then served as associate pastor of St. Mark's Church in Gary until 1961. He then furthered his studies in Rome, where he attended the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum), obtaining his Licentiate of Sacred Theology, and the Alphonsian Academy, earning a Doctorate in Sacred Theology. He acted as a page during some of the sessions of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) as well.
