Charles Edward Brickley (November 24, 1891 – December 28, 1949) was an American football player and coach.

He was a two-time All-American at Harvard and set college football records for career and single-season field goals.

Brickley attended Harvard College, where he played football from 1911 to 1914 for the Crimson as a fullback and placekicker under head coach Percy Haughton.

[8] After graduating, Brickley was sought by many schools looking for head coaches, including New York University and Penn State.

[13] Brickley was named head coach at Fordham University in 1919, however the school later decided to cancel the season.

[16][17] In 1922, Brickley was offered the position of head coach at Northwestern, but the two sides could not agree on terms and the school hired Glenn Thistlethwaite instead.

[20] That same year, Brickley purchased the Harrisburg franchise in the Eastern Basketball League, which he quickly sold to New York Celtics owner James Furey.

[32][33] His youngest brother Arthur Brickley played football and baseball for Columbia (1920), Fordham (1921), and Providence (1923).

[34][35][36] His youngest son, John "Bud" Brickley, signed with the New York Giants in 1946 following his discharge from the United States Marine Corps.
