Nesta Carter OD (born October 11, 1985) is a retired Jamaican sprinter who specialized in the 100 metres event. Carter was successful as part of the Jamaican 4 × 100 metres relay team, taking gold and setting successive world records at the 2011 World Championships and 2012 London Olympics. He also won a 4 × 100 m silver medal at the 2007 World Championship and a gold at the 2015 World Championships. On August 11, 2013, Carter secured an individual 100 m World Championship bronze medal in Moscow, behind Justin Gatlin and teammate Usain Bolt. He followed this with another gold in the 4 × 100 metres relay.
In August 2010 he became only the fifth sprinter to run the 100 metres in less than 9.8 seconds. His 100 m personal best of 9.78 currently ranks him as the eleventh fastest man of all time, behind fellow Jamaicans Usain Bolt, Yohan Blake, Asafa Powell, and Kishane Thompson, Americans Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin, Christian Coleman, Trayvon Bromell and Fred Kerley and Kenyan Ferdinand Omanyala.
On 25 January 2017, the International Olympic Committee sanctioned Carter for doping at the 2008 Olympic Games, meaning that Carter and his teammates lost their gold medals for the men's 4 × 100 m relay. On 31 August 2021 Carter officially announced his retirement.
