Charles Albright (December 13, 1830 – September 28, 1880) was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

Moving to the Kansas Territory in 1854, Albright participated in its early development; though he returned to Pennsylvania and resumed the practice of law in Mauch Chunk in 1856.

During the American Civil War, Albright served in the Union Army as major of the 132nd Pennsylvania Infantry.

On March 7, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln nominated Albright to the honorary grade of brevet brigadier general, U.S.

Albright served as the prosecution's lead where he reportedly cut an imposing figure in the courtroom wearing his Army dress uniform complete with sword and scabbard.
