Carroll Edwin Lanier (November 8, 1926 – December 4, 2012) was an American Democratic politician who served an extended term as mayor of Alexandria, Louisiana; Alexandria is the seat of Rapides Parish and the largest city in central Louisiana.
Lanier served a 5.5-year term from June 1977 to December 1982 and became the first mayor under the current mayor-council form of municipal government, which in 1977 replaced the former three-member commission system.
The initial term under the new charter was extended by a year-and-a-half to coincide with the regular 1982 elections.
