Carl "Corky" Civella (January 28, 1910-October 2, 1994) was the leader of the Kansas City, Missouri crime family following the death of his brother, longtime crime boss Nicholas Civella, after heading day-to-day operations during the mid-1970s.

Corky's reign as boss was brief. In 1984, he was convicted along with much of the high ranking leadership (including his son Anthony Civella) for the syndicate's role in skimming operations from Las Vegas casinos throughout the 1970s and sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison. Another ten years was added on an unrelated charge.

Carl Civella died of natural causes on October 2, 1994.
