Kaarle McCulloch (born 20 January 1988) is an Australian professional track cyclist and four time World Champion in the team sprint. She was part of the Australian sprint team that won bronze at the 2012 Summer Olympics.[2] At the 2010 Commonwealth Games she won a gold medal in the Team sprint and a silver medal in the 500m Time Trial. Kaarle took a break from cycling following the London Olympics due a knee injury, missing the 2014 Commonwealth Games. In 2016 she missed selection for the Rio Olympics due to a contentious decision to send former teammate Anna Meares. Kaarle returned for the 2018 Commonwealth Games winning Gold in the 500m Time Trial and Team Sprint and Silver in the Keiran and Bronze in the Sprint. Kaarle is renowned for being an exceptionally kind-hearted athlete mentoring many junior cyclists.

In her teens Kaarle was a gifted runner competing at the Australian Championships. In late high school her step-father Ken Bates introduced her to track cycling. She rose through the ranks quickly eventually competing at the UCI Junior Track World Championships. Not just talented on the bike she performed exceptionally well in her final year of school scoring in the Top 10% and has a university degree in PDHPE teaching.
