Gladys Hasty Carroll (June 26, 1904 - March 28, 1999) was an American novelist who was a published author from the late 1920s into the 1980s.

Carroll was born June 26, 1904, in Rochester, New Hampshire, and educated at Berwick Academy and Bates College.

Carroll's first efforts were children's books. Her first novel for adults, As the Earth Turns, was a blockbuster success and the number two selling novel of 1933 according to Publishers Weekly, second only to Hervey Allen's Anthony Adverse and outselling such well-remembered books as Lloyd C. Douglas's Magnificent Obsession and Sinclair Lewis's Ann Vickers.

A Warner Bros. film version of the novel starring Jean Muir and Donald Woods was a flop, however, and none of Carroll's other novels were ever filmed. The only other film adaption of any of her work was her story "Kristi" which was made into an episode of Jane Wyman's 1950s anthology television series Fireside Theatre.

Gladys Hasty Carroll died at age 94 on March 28, 1999, in South Berwick, Maine.
