Charles Herrick (September 22, 1814 – November 14, 1886)[1] was an American farmer and banker who represented Racine County in the Wisconsin State Senate during the 1874 session.

He left his home town in 1836, and spent some time logging on the Muskegon and White Rivers of Michigan.

In 1841, he moved to the Wisconsin Territory, settling first in Racine, where he went into the produce business and sold cattle.

When, in 1855, a Racine Gas-light and Coke Company was organized, he was among those elected to its initial board of directors.

In 1874, Baker (who had lost his race for Lieutenant Governor) ran for his old seat, and beat Herrick by 2,706 votes to Herrick's 2,130 as the candidate of the Liberal Reform Party, a short-lived coalition of Democrats, Reform and Liberal Republicans, and Grangers formed in 1873 which secured the election of a Governor of Wisconsin and elected a number of state legislators.
