Karl Cortlandt Schuyler (April 3, 1877 – July 31, 1933) was a Colorado attorney who served in the United States Senate from 1932 to 1933.
Born and raised in Colorado Springs, Schuyler was the son of Frederick and Eleanor (Nellie) Farnan Schuyler. His father was a native of New York, and his mother was born in Illinois. Schuyler attended the public schools of Colorado Springs, after which he became an employee of the Colorado Midland Railroad and taught school.
Schuyler was a descendant of Harmanus Schuyler (1727-1796), a cousin of Philip Schuyler, who served as an Assistant Deputy Commissary General during the American Revolution, responsible for acquiring and distributing supplies and equipment to soldiers of the Continental Army. As a result of this relationship, Karl Schuyler was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution.
He graduated from the University of Denver's law school in 1898, and was admitted to the bar. Schuyler practiced in Cripple Creek, and then Colorado Springs until he moved to Denver in 1905. Schuyler was a successful corporate attorney, and served as general counsel for the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad, Midland Terminal Railway, Colorado Telephone Company, and the United States Reduction and Refining Company. He was a founder of the Midwest Oil and Refining Company, and served on the board of directors and as the company's counsel. In addition, he served as president of the Flower of the West Gold Mining Company and the Merritt Oil Corporation, and a member of the board of directors of the Gulf Oil Companies and the Amalgamated Royalty Oil Corporation.
