Carl Joys Lomen (July 13, 1880 – August 16, 1965) was an American entrepreneur and photographer.[1] He was known as The Reindeer King of Alaska, because of his role in "organizing, promoting, marketing, and lobbying for the reindeer industry"[2] in the first decades of the 20th century, as president of the Lomen Company.[3]

In 1954, he published his autobiography, Fifty Years in Alaska (New York: David McKay). He died on August 16, 1965.[1]
