Carder Hazard (August 11, 1734 – November 24, 1792) was a justice of the Rhode Island Supreme Court from May 1792 until his death in December 1792, midway through a term that would have expired in May 1793.

Hazard's name first appears in records in 1757, as an admitted freeman of the Colony from South Kingstown, Rhode Island. He was described as "tall and well formed, fair in complexion, and (tradition says) an uncommonly handsome man". He was a son of George Hazard, and a brother of Newport mayor George Hazard.
