Carlos Ivan Beltrán (English pronunciation: /ˈkɑrloʊs bɛlˈtrɑːn/ bel-TRAHN; born April 24, 1977, in Manatí, Puerto Rico) is a Major League Baseball outfielder with the New York Mets.

In his youth, Beltrán excelled in many sports, with volleyball and baseball being his favorites. At his father's urging, he gave up volleyball to concentrate on baseball when he was seventeen. Graduating from Fernando Callejo High School in 1995, the highly-regarded five tool player was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the second round of that year's amateur baseball draft.

Beltrán maintains homes in Port Washington, New York, and Manatí.
