Charles Edis McNeil (August 7, 1936 – January 7, 1994) was an American professional football safety who played for the Los Angeles / San Diego Chargers of the American Football League (AFL). He played in four of the first five AFL Championship games (1960, 1961, 1963, and 1964), and was a member of the Chargers' 1963 AFL Championship team, an All-AFL player in 1961, and an AFL All-Star in 1961. He held the professional football record for 43 years, for the most interception yardage (349) in one season in 1961, and most interception yards (177) in one game, also in 1961. The one-game record still stands.
