Sharon Carter (also known as Agent 13) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is usually depicted as a secret agent and an ex-field agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. under Nick Fury and the ex-girlfriend of Captain America.

In the original comic book continuity, Sharon was the younger sister of Peggy Carter, the wartime love interest of Captain America. She was later retconned as Peggy's great-niece because of the unaging nature of comic book characters.

Sharon Carter appears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War, portrayed by Emily VanCamp.

Created by writer Stan Lee and penciler and co-plotter Jack Kirby, Carter first appeared in Tales of Suspense #75 (cover-date March 1966).

Carter was apparently killed in Captain America #233. She was revived in issue #444 by writer Mark Waid, who commented, "The reason she works so well with Cap is because she's a complete cynic and he's a complete idealist."

Sharon Carter appeared as a supporting character in the 2010-2013 Secret Avengers series, from issue #1 (July 2010) through issue #21 (March 2012).
