Five days after she took second spot on the podium in the 400m, Carlin posted a time of 8:16.17 to add to her tally in Rio de Janeiro.
Carlin's final score was just 0.2s ahead of Hungarian swimmer Boglarka Kapas, who was forced to settle for bronze.
Ledecky stole all of the headlines, however, with another impressive swim that saw her finish the race half a length ahead of her competitors.
The 19-year-old finished with a time of 8:04.79, beating her own world record - set earlier this year in the Arena Pro Swim Series - by almost two seconds.
