Karl Hörth (born January 30, 1850 in Bühl ; died after 1890) was a German architect.

Hörth held the office of first architect at the Archbishop's Building Office in Karlsruhe. He built the cemetery chapel in Bühl (Baden) (1882), the parish church of Greffern (1889), the parish church of St. Johannes in Vimbuch (1890) and churches in Lauf (Baden) and Waldulm . He used the neo-Gothic style in the buildings in Vimbuch and Greffern. For the Vimbuch church, he drew a violent criticism from the head of the Archbishop's Building Office in Karlsruhe, Adolf Williard.
