Carlos Alberto Verna (born 1946) is an Argentine Justicialist Party (PJ) politician, current governor of La Pampa Province.
Verna became a senator for La Pampa in 1993.
Verna won the 2003 election to be governor with the support of Carlos Menem, against the candidate of the Front for Victory faction of the Justicialist Party, Nestor Ahuad. Verna is not close to fellow Peronist President Nestor Kirchner and is likely to be challenged by his own party in his attempt to be re-elected in 2007.
Verna has been caught up in the scandal concerning public SIDE funds being paid to senators by the government of Fernando de la Rua to support labour reform.
