Delmer W. "Del" Carroll (October 30, 1919 - May 9, 1982) was an American champion polo player, Thoroughbred racehorse owner/trainer, and soldier during World War II.
Del Carroll had begun riding horses as a boy of ten which as a young man led to choosing to serve in the cavalry in the United States Army during World War II. He rose to the rank of First Lieutenant. According to a 1945 Pennsylvania Military College article, he "was a member of the mechanized cvalry group that did the dangerous advance scouting during the German campaign."
