Victor Joseph "Vic" Carapazza (born July 6, 1979) is a Major League Baseball umpire. He wears uniform number 19, and previously wore uniform number 85.

Carapazza was born in Port Jefferson, New York.

He made his Major League Baseball umpiring debut on April 9, 2010 in St. Petersburg, Florida as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the New York Yankees 9–3, working third base in that game.

He umpired in 29 games in 2010, and returned in 2011, umpiring in 133 games.

Carapazza was later on hired to the full-time Major League Baseball staff in early January 2013.

He is the son-in-law of former American League umpire Rich Garcia.

He served as the right-field umpire during the 2014 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, marking his first such assignment. Carapazza also umpired in the 2014 National League Division Series, and in Game 2 he ejected Washington Nationals second baseman Asdrúbal Cabrera and manager Matt Williams in the 10th inning for arguing balls and strikes.
