Carley V. Porter (February 19, 1906 – December 6, 1972) served in the California State Assembly from the 69th District from 1949 to 1963, and from the 38th District from 1963 until his death in 1972. A resident of Compton, his constituency under both of his Assembly district numbers was in southern Los Angeles County.[1]

Legislation that bears Porter's name includes the Burns-Porter Act, which resulted in the California State Water Project, and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, anti-pollution legislation that predated the federal Clean Water Act.[2]

During World War II, Porter served in the United States Army.[3]
