Tina Čarman (born 8 January 1978 in Kranj) is a retired Slovenian long jumper.[1] She was selected to compete for the Slovenian Olympic team in the long jump at the 2004 Summer Olympics after recording a personal best of 6.56 metres from a national athletics meet in Dolenjske Toplice.[2][3] Carman also trained as a member of the athletics squad for the Dolenjske Toplice Sports Club (Slovene: Športno društvo Dolenjske Toplice) under her coach Dobrivoje Vučkovič.[4]

Carman qualified for the Slovenian squad in the women's long jump at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[2] A year before the Games, she jumped 6.56 metres to attain both her personal best and an Olympic B-standard at a national athletics meet in Dolenjske Toplice.[3] During the prelims, Carman fouled in two consecutive attempts until she satisfied her final jump with a spanning distance of 5.72 metres, placing her in the thirty-sixth position against a vast field of thirty-nine long jumpers.[5]
