Karolina Gočeva is a Macedonian singer.

Karolina began her career at ten years old, when she participated in the "Si-Do" Children's Festival in Bitola and Makfest 1991 with the song "Mamo, pušti me". In 1994, she made her first appearance in Skopje Fest with the song Koj da ti kaže, and participated regularly throughout the rest of the decade.

In 2000, Karolina released her debut album, "Jas imam pesna" , releasing a number of singles in the meantime. That same year, she came in second place in the Macedonian Eurovision selection with the song Za nas. Two years later, she released her second album, Zošto sonot ima kraj, which expanded her profile across the former Yugoslavia. She also won Skopje Fest with the song Od nas zavisi, allowing her to represent the country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2002. It ended up placing 19th overall.

The following year, Karolina released her third album Znaeš kolku vredam, and released an album of Serbian language songs to reach a wider market. Despite only coming in fourth with the song "Ruža Ružica" at the Sunčane Skale festival in 2005, it became an instant hit.

Karolina won Skopje Fest again in 2007, this time with the song Mojot svet in a landslide victory. Therefore, she represented Macedonia again at the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki, where she improved on her previous result by coming in 14th.
