Charity Rusk Craig (1849–1913) was a civic-minded leader of an American charitable organization, serving as the sixth National President of the Woman's Relief Corps (WRC).
Her father was Jeremiah McLain Rusk, who served as Governor of Wisconsin and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture.
She continued her studies even during the four years spent in Washington, D.C., when her father was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
After having been prominently identified with various local charities and conspicuously interested in women's organizations for a considerable period of time, Craig became a charter member of the WRC, auxiliary to the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR).
She was instrumental in extending the work into new States, and laid the foundations for a wide increase of membership.
With the development of the long-distance lines, the system was sold to the Bell Telephone Company, and Craig invested in Oklahoma, retaining her residence and interests in North Carolina.
