Charles Murray (27 September 1864 – 12 April 1941) was a poet who wrote in the Doric dialect of Scots.

He was one of three rural poets from the north-east of Scotland, the others being Flora Garry and John C. Milne, who did much to validate the literary use of Scots.

However he wrote much of his poetry while living in South Africa where he spent most of his working life as a successful civil engineer.

His first volume, A Handful of Heather (1893), was privately printed and he withdrew it shortly after publication to rework many of the poems within it.

After his death a final volume of poetry, Last Poems was published by the Charles Murray Memorial Trust in 1969.
