Charles Miller Shelley (December 28, 1833 – January 20, 1907) was a brigadier general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War and a late Reconstruction era U.S. Representative from Alabama.

[1] With the outbreak of the Civil War, Shelley first entered the Confederate Army in February 1861 as a first lieutenant and was stationed first at Fort Morgan.

With the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Democratic intimidation and violence against African American voters, his reelection was much easier.

Shelley presented his credentials as a Member-elect to the Forty-seventh Congress, but the election was contested by James Q. Smith and the seat declared vacant July 20, 1882.

He presented credentials as a Member-elect to the Forty-eighth Congress and served from March 4, 1883, to January 9, 1885, when he was succeeded by George H. Craig, who contested the election.
