Charles Edmund Boyle (February 4, 1836 – December 15, 1888) was a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

Born in Uniontown, Fayette County, Pennsylvania on February 4, 1836, he was educated at a common school and graduated from Waynesburg College in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. After studying law, he was admitted to the bar in December 1861 and became a practicing lawyer. He was elected district attorney for Fayette County in 1862 and served in the role until 1865.

Boyle was a member of the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives in 1866 and 1867. He was president of the Democratic State convention from 1867 to 1874 and was elected three times as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention (1876, 1880, 1888). He was elected as a Democrat to the 48th and 49th U.S. Congresses (1883–1887) but was not eligible for renomination in 1886.

In September 1888, Boyle was appointed Chief Justice of Washington Territory; he died three months later in Seattle, Washington. He is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
