Karen Kraft Sloan BA, BAdmin, MES (born 3 April 1952 in Kitchener, Ontario) was a Liberal party member of the Canadian House of Commons from 1993 to 2004. By career, she is a teacher and consultant.

She first won election to Parliament for the York—Simcoe electoral district during the 1993 federal election.
