Carl Fearns (born 28 May 1989 in Liverpool, England) is a rugby union player for Bath Rugby in the Aviva Premiership. He plays as a back-row forward.

Fearns made his Sale debut in an EDF Energy Cup match against Cardiff Blues, winning the Man of the Match award.[2]

Fearns captained England at U18 level.[3] He was a member of the England Under 20 team that reached the final of the 2009 IRB Junior World Championship.[4] His performances in this tournament led to him being nominated for the IRB Junior Player of the Year award.[5]

Fearns missed the whole of the 2007–08 season due to knee reconstruction.[6]

It was announced on 8 March 2011 that Fearns had signed for Bath on a 2-year deal.[7]

On 10 July 2013, Fearns knocked out Bath teammate Gavin Henson on a night out in the city.[8]
