Carin Axelina Hulda Göring (née Fock; formerly Countess von Kantzow; 21 October 1888 – 17 October 1931) was the Swedish first wife of Hermann Göring. Early life She was born in Stockholm in 1888. Her father, Baron Carl Alexander Fock, was a Swedish Army colonel. The Fock family were of Baltic-German origin, which had emigrated from Westphalia to the Duchy of Estonia, then part of Sweden, in the 17th century, and matriculated into the Swedish nobility. Her paternal great-grandfather was the Swedish zoologist Bengt Fredrik Fries. Her mother, whose name was Huldine Beamish, was born in 1860 into an Anglo-Irish family famous for brewing Beamish and Crawford stout in Cork. Her great-great-grandfather, William Beamish, was one of the founders of Beamish and Crawford, and her grandfather had served in Britain's Coldstream Guards. Carin's maternal grandmother, Hulda Elisabet Consantia Mosander, who was of Swedish origin, daughter of professor of chemistry Carl Gustaf Mosander, had founded a private religious sisterhood, the Edelweiss Society. She was the fourth of five daughters; her sisters were Fanny von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1882–1956), Mary von Rosen (1886–1967), Elsa, and Lily.

She divorced von Kantzow and married Göring on 3 January 1923. After their marriage, the Görings first lived in a house in the suburbs of Munich.
