Carola Hicks (7 November 1941 – 23 June 2010) was a British art historian.
She was born in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, and was educated at the Lady Eleanor Holles School and the University of Edinburgh. Hicks worked at the British Museum researching the Sutton Hoo ship burial, before becoming a research fellow at Lucy Cavendish College, Cambridge, and then curator of the Stained Glass Museum at Ely Cathedral.
