Karin Melis Mey (formerly Karin Mey) (born 31 May 1983) is a South African-born long jumper who competes for Turkey in international competition. She became a naturalised Turkish citizen in June 2008, and took the name Melis in addition to her old name Karin Mey.

Representing South Africa, one of her first international appearances was a sixth place finish at the 2005 Summer Universiade. She represented her adopted country at the 2008 Summer Olympics, competing in the qualifying stages of the long jump.[1] She was also sixth at the 2008 IAAF World Athletics Final that year. Melis Mey qualified for the 2009 European Athletics Indoor Championships but did not make the final. Outdoors she was the silver medallist at the 2009 Mediterranean Games and also in the First League of the 2009 European Team Championships. She won the bronze medal by jumping 6.80 m at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics in Berlin – her first major medal.

She jumped at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships, but did not progress beyond the qualifying round.

Her personal best jump is 6.93 metres, achieved in July 2007 in Bad Langensalza, which is the South African record for the event. In July 2009 she set a Turkish record of 6.87 metres. She is a member of the Fenerbahçe S.K. athletics club in Turkey.[2][3]
