Carolyn Burkett (May 29, 1945 – April 4, 2020)[2] nicknamed "Bunny", was an American Alcohol Funny Car driver.

In 1986, Burkett became only the second woman to win a national title in a professional class,[3] following Shirley Muldowney.

Burkett was one of only a small number of women drag racing in professional classes.

In September 1995, she was involved in a serious accident at Beaver Springs Dragway that threatened to end her racing career.

Near the traps, Carl Ruth's funny car crossed the centerline into the left lane, pushing Burkett's into the guardrail.
