Carr Vattal Van Anda (December 2, 1864[1] – January 29, 1945)[2] was the managing editor of The New York Times under Adolph Ochs, from 1904 to 1932.

Van Anda was an academic, studying astronomy and physics at Ohio University, and started in journalism at The Cleveland Herald and Gazette and later The Baltimore Sun before being picked up by Adolph Simon Ochs, who valued intelligent and accurate news reporting.

Van Anda gave political and scientific news coverage the same zeal normally reserved for sports and celebrities.

Fluent in hieroglyphics, he secured near-exclusive coverage of the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb by Howard Carter in 1923.

Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University gave the "Carr Van Anda Award" to recognize outstanding work by journalists during their careers.
