Charles Howard, 2nd Earl of Nottingham (17 September 1579 – 3 October 1642) of Effingham, Surrey was the second (but eldest surviving) son of Charles Howard, 1st Earl of Nottingham.
From 1615 to 1624 he was styled Lord Howard of Effingham before he succeeding his father in the latter year as 2nd Earl of Nottingham.
[1] He was married first on 19 May 1597 to Charity White (d. 18 December 1618), daughter to Robert White and secondly, on 22 April 1620, to Mary Cokayne, daughter of Sir William Cockayne, Lord Mayor of London in 1619.
There were no known children from either marriage and he was therefore succeeded by his half-brother, Charles Howard, 3rd Earl of Nottingham.
