Sorin Cârțu (born 12 November 1955) is a former football striker and football coach. Cârțu won two Romanian Championships and four Romanian Cups with Universitatea Craiova. As a coach, he succeeded to win in the 1990–91 season with Universitatea Craiova both trophies in Romania, Divizia A and the Romanian Cup.
During CFR's Champions League tie against Swiss Super League champions FC Basel at St. Jakob-Park, Cârțu destroyed a section of the dugout with his foot after his side conceded a 75th-minute goal. After the match, CFR Cluj sacked Cârțu, citing his behaviour in the game as the reason behind his dismissal.
