Terrell Foster Carver (born 4 September 1946) is a Professor of Political Theory at the University of Bristol.

Carver was born in Boise, Idaho. After receiving his B.A. from Columbia University in 1968, Carver went on to study in England. After finishing his BPhil (1970) and DPhil (1975) at Oxford University, he worked as a lecturer at the University of Liverpool between 1974 and 1979. In 1980 he moved to the University of Bristol where he was a Lecturer until 1990, when he became a Reader. In 1985/86 he was Visiting Professor at Virginia Commonwealth University. In 1991 he was both a Visiting Fellow at The Research School of Social Sciences of the Australian National University and also at the Centre for Asian and Pacific Studies, Seikei University, Tokyo. In 1995 Carver was appointed Professor of Political Theory at the Department of Politics at the University of Bristol. Carver has also been Visiting Fellow sponsored by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Tokyo/Kyoto, in 1999; a Visiting Professor at Pitzer College of the Claremont Colleges in 2003; and Visiting Professor at Senshu University, Tokyo, in 2006.

Carver is a political theorist taking a textual, hermeneutic and postmodern approach to classic texts and problems. His longstanding interest is in analysis and translation of works by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, and the relation of those studies to Marxism and the Marxist tradition in social thought and methodology of the social sciences. He has also taken an interest in feminist theories of sex, gender and sexuality, and the relation of that work to the sociology of masculinities, using this approach to reinterpret the 'malestream' canon of classic philosophers. He co-general-edits a book series on globalization. His books and articles have been translated into German, French, Japanese, Korean and Chinese.
