Carole Griffin (born December 30, 1960) is an artist, former rock singer, and owner of Continental Bakery and Chez Lulu.

Griffin was one of the first female students at Indian Springs School, graduating in 1978. She earned a bachelor's degree in English and French at Rice University in Houston, Texas in 1983 and spent time in France learning to bake artisanal breads in the style of Lionel Poilâne.

After returning to Alabama, Griffin fronted the pop band Sugar La-Las. She opened her bakery in English Village in 1984 and expanded with its neighboring restaurant in 1995. She founded the Spring-a-Ling-a-Ding-Dong festival in English Village to celebrate the bakery's 25th anniversary in 2009.

In late 2013 Griffin was invited to take over Chris Dupont's lease for Mix bakery at One Federal Place. She opened the second Continental Bakery location there in January 2014.
