Charles Baldwin (29 December 1864 – 2 May 1947) was an English cricketer. He played 80 first-class matches for Surrey between 1892 and 1898. In 1897 he scored 234 against Kent. According to his obituary in Wisden, he was short and thickset, and a stylish batsman, who scored 1,137 runs in the County Championship in his best season of 1897. During his playing career with Surrey, he was known to umpire in first-class matches, doing so on three occasions; he would later umpire in a further three first-class matches following the end of his playing career with Surrey. He played minor counties cricket for his home county, Suffolk, in the 1904 Minor Counties Championship, making two appearances. After his playing career, he was a successful coach at Uppingham School for seventeen years. When the Surrey scorer died in 1927, he took over the position for a while.
