Charles Gifford (February 24, 1821 – 20 April 1896) was an Ontario political figure.

He represented Northumberland West in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Conservative member from 1872 to 1874.

He was elected to the provincial legislature in a by-election called in 1872 after the resignation of Alexander Fraser, the sitting member.

That same year, Gifford sponsored the building of a sailing ship built in Cobourg, the Countess of Dufferin, that raced in the America's Cup in 1876.
