Karen Stack Umlauf is a former executive and assistant coach of the National Basketball Association's Chicago Bulls.

Stack Umlauf was a standout basketball player for the Northwestern Wildcats in the early 1980s. After a year of playing basketball overseas, she joined the Bulls in 1985, starting with a role of selling tickets. Over the next decades, she rose to become director of basketball operations for 20 years and later senior director of basketball administration.

In 2017, she lobbied Bulls head of basketball operations John Paxson to let her coach. She was first assigned to the summer league. In so doing, she became the Bulls' first female assistant coach, combining that role with the role of director of team operations.
