Caroline of Waldeck and Pyrmont (14 August 1748 18 August 1782), was a Duchess consort of Courland.

She married the Duke of Courland, Peter von Biron, in 15 October 1765. She was the daughter of Karl August, Prince of Waldeck and Pyrmont, and Christiane Henriette of Birkenfeld-Bischweiler. The relationship between Caroline and Peter was unhappy, and evidently, he abused her while drunk. The marriage produced no issue. Caroline and Peter were divorced in 1772.
