Charles Davis Jameson (February 24, 1827 – November 6, 1862) was an American Civil War general and Democratic Party candidate for Governor of Maine.

He contracted "camp fever" (typhoid) at the Battle of Fair Oaks, returned to his native state of Maine, dying in transit or soon after.

He led his regiment into the First Battle of Bull Run and was soon made Brigadier General of Volunteers.

He lost the election to Republican Israel Washburn, Jr. from the neighboring town of Orono, but narrowly beat the anti-war Democrat, John W. Dana.

[2] Some sources report that Jameson actually died on the steamship carrying him home between Boston and Bangor.
