Karl Fulves (* 27. Juli 1939; † 16. Februar 2023) war ein US-amerikanischer Zauberkünstler, Herausgeber und Autor.

Über ihn war recht wenig bekannt, da er sich selbst abschottete und keine Interviews gab. Er hat zahlreichen Bücher im Verlag Dover für den öffentlichen Markt publiziert – häufig unter dem Titel: Self working ... –

Karl Fulves war verheiratet mit seiner Frau Jean. Die beiden hatten drei Kinder.

Er gilt mit seiner Flut an Veröffentlichung als einer der produktivsten schreibenden Zauberkünstler des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der englische Zauberkünstler und Autor Matthew Field hat ihn in einem ausführlichen Referat auf dem „Collectors's Day“ in London 2012 gwürdigt und fast alle Publikationen aufgelistet.
