Charles Cahill Wilson (July 29, 1894 – January 7, 1948) was an American screen and stage actor.

Charles Wilson began his acting career at the theatre, including roles in six Broadway plays between 1918 and 1931.

His most notable role was probably Clark Gable's "wonderfully aggravated"[2] newspaper boss in Frank Capra's comedy It Happened One Night, which won five Academy Awards in 1935.

In addition to his films for Frank Capra, Wilson also appeared prominently in Columbia serials, including The Spider's Web (1938), Batman (1943), and The Secret Code (1943), as well as in Columbia comedy shorts with Harry Von Zell, Hugh Herbert, and The Three Stooges.

He played one leading role in what turned out to be his last film, Blazing Across the Pecos (1948), as the villain opposite cowboy hero Charles Starrett.
