Carlos Edwin Colón Jr. (born February 21, 1979) is a Puerto Rican professional wrestler, best known for his time with WWE under the ring name Carlito Caribbean Cool or simply Carlito.

He belongs to a wrestling family, being the son of Carlos Colón Sr., who introduced him to wrestling. His mother was born in Canada, which grants him Canadian citizenship. Colón debuted in his father's promotion, World Wrestling Council (WWC), eventually winning WWC Universal Heavyweight Championship 17 times, and WWC Puerto Rico Heavyweight Championship once. During the early years of his career, he made appearances for the X Wrestling Federation and Funking Conservatory, winning his first international championship for the second.

In 2003, Colón signed a developmental contract with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), working for the promotion until 2010. He worked in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) for sixteen months, mostly wrestling in tag team matches while making appearances in WWC. In October 2004, Colón made his main roster debut. Colón is a former United States Champion and Intercontinental Champion and has been part of both the Raw and SmackDown brands. He is the only wrestler to win a championship on two separate debuts in WWE and the second Puerto Rican to become Intercontinental Champion, after Pedro Morales. At WrestleMania XXV, Colón and his brother, Primo, became the only tag team to unify the WWE Tag Team Championship and World Tag Team Championship. He has won several world championships on the independent circuit.
