Carl Eckhardt Grammer (November 11, 1858 - March 17, 1944) was a prominent Episcopal priest, author, and commentator on American Indian affairs. He was an exponent of liberal evangelical positions in church controversy. Grammer was a supporter of women's suffrage and a widely published opponent of the American Missal.

He was ordained to the priesthood on July 3, 1889, and served parishes in Maryland, Ohio, and Virginia. Grammer was professor of Church History at Virginia Theological Seminary from 1887 to 1898, and rector of St. Stephen's Church, Philadelphia from 1905 to 1936. He was president of the Evangelical Education Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and the board of directors of Sweet Briar College.
