Karen Lynn Valihura (born May 16, 1963) is an American lawyer who serves as a justice of the Delaware Supreme Court since 2014. Prior to her appointment, Valihura was a partner at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom , LLP.

In June 2014, Governor Jack Markell nominated Valihura to the Delaware Supreme Court, to replace retiring Justice Jack B. Jacobs . She was confirmed by the Delaware Senate on June 25 and sworn in on July 25 for a 12-year term. She is the second woman to serve on the court, after Justice Carolyn Berger .

In October 2018, Justice Valihura dissented when the majority found that the business judgment rule protected a controlling shareholder even though he did not offer minority shareholder protections until after his initial squeeze-out bid.
