Carl Looft (né Knutsen; 9 February 1863 – 10 April 1943) was a Norwegian physician, and among the first pediatricians in Norway. While his early work research focused on leprosy, he later became interested in children's health and development. He worked in private practice and throughout schools in Bergen, and he wrote a textbook on infant care.
