A carryall is a type of carriage used in the United States in the 19th century. It is a light, four-wheeled vehicle, usually drawn by a single horse and designed to carry four passengers.

The name carryall has also been used in the past by automobile manufacturers to refer to larger sport utility vehicles. These vehicles had station wagon-like bodies on light truck chassis. The GMC Suburban (now called the Yukon XL) was once known as the GMC Carryall Suburban.

In Canada, the term "carryall" is often also used to refer to a type of sleigh. It is about 4 m (13 ft) long and 0.5 m (1.5 ft) wide, fitted with a canvas or hide container. It is pulled by dogs or a snowmobile. It is used principally by trappers and hunters to transport people and goods.
