Carmen Elena Malo Merchán (born May 24, 1972 in Cuenca) is an Ecuadorian pistol shooter, who competed at three Olympic games.

[1] Malo made her official Olympic debut at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where she finished twenty-first in the women's 10 m air pistol, with a score of 378 points, tying her position with Albania's Djana Mata, and Germany's Anke Völker, wife of multiple-time Olympic medalist Ralf Schumann.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics, Malo competed in two pistol shooting events.

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Malo obtained a well-improved score of 559 points (281 for the precision shooting, and 278 for the rapid-fire stage) in the women's 25 m pistol event; however, her performance was insufficiently enough to qualify into the final, as she came only in penultimate place out of forty-one shooters, by just one point ahead of Canada's Avianna Chao.
