Charles Maude Meysey-Thompson (5 December 1849 – 11 September 1881) was an English clergyman who, as an amateur footballer, won the FA Cup in 1873 with the Wanderers.

Born in York as Charles Maude Thompson, he was the son of Sir Harry Meysey-Thompson, 1st Baronet (1809–1874) and Elizabeth Anne Croft.

Whilst at the university, he was selected as a late replacement for Henry Primrose to represent Scotland in a match against England on 24 February 1872.
