Nely Carla Alberto Francisca (born 2 July 1983) is a Spanish handball player for Mérignac Handball and the Spain national team.

Although she was born in Spain, her parents are natives of Cape Verde, so she has dual nationality. At the 2009 World Women's Handball Championship she reached the bronze final and placed fourth with the Spanish team.[1] She was part of the 2011 World Championship team,[2] who were the first Spanish women's team to win a world championship handball medal. She was also part of the Olympic bronze medal-winning team from 2012.[3]
