Carme Rigalt Tarragó (Vinaixa, Lleida, 1949) is a Catalan journalist and novelist.
In 1997, she published her first novel Mi corazón que baila con espigas, which became a finalist of the Premio Planeta.
In 2001, the Provincial Court of Madrid acquitted her of the crime of damaging the honor of the singer Alejandro Sanz, who she claimed was a homosexual in El Mundo.
However, the decision was reversed in 2008 by the Supreme Court, condemning Rigalt, the newspaper El Mundo, Miguel Ángel Mellado and Unidad Editorial (the publisher of El Mundo), and ordered them to pay 30,000 euros to Alejandro Sanz.
