Charles Henry Oldham (20 November 1863 – 1935) was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1897 to 1900, representing the seat of North Perth.
Oldham was born in Barrow-in-Furness, Lancashire, England, and began working in a coal mine at the age of eleven.
[2] He stood as an opponent of the government of John Forrest and a supporter of the labour movement, and is regarded as the first Labor Party member of parliament in Western Australia.
However, in October 1900, Oldham's seat was declared vacant by the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, as he had not attended a sitting of the house for two months.
