Charles Bryant Drake (September 14, 1872 – August 14, 1956) was a United States Army officer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Drake was born in Old Forge, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, on September 14, 1872, to a family that had resided in the country since before the American Revolutionary War.

The citation for the medal reads: The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Captain (Cavalry) Charles Bryant Drake, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 14th Cavalry, at the siege and taking of Cotta Pang Pang, Jolo, Philippine Islands, 14 February 1904.

Captain Drake's conspicuous bravery and daring were demonstrated in leading the men to the firing line and being the first over the bamboo fence and the stone wall of the cotta.

After he and his regiment returned to the U.S., he served in several positions, including participating in the Pancho Villa Expedition, in which he commanded a motor supply train.
