Charles Herbert (5 July 1774 – 12 September 1808) was a British Royal Navy officer and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1806 to 1807.

His father's 'never-ceasing importunities and remonstrances' resulted in his promotion a year later in 1795 to the rank of post-captain, He enjoyed a successful series of frigate commands.

He might have damaged his prospects early in 1802 by leaving his ship before peace was concluded, against Lord St. Vincent's express wish.

A year later, St. Vincent was prepared to overlook this 'desertion' and although he doubted if he could do anything for Herbert afloat, thought he might find him employment ashore.

In 1807 he was displaced by Lord Pembroke at the dissolution, in favour of his uncle and namesake Charles Herbert.
