Charles Richmond Mitchell (November 30, 1872 – August 16, 1942) was a Canadian lawyer, judge, cabinet minister and former Leader of the Official Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.

The next year he moved to Medicine Hat, at that time in the Northwest Territories, and opened a thriving legal practice.

A Liberal politician, Mitchell was first elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly in a by-election in Medicine Hat provincial electoral district on June 29, 1910, after Premier Arthur L.W.

After his defeat in the 1913 general election, George Lane, the MLA for Bow Valley, resigned to provide a seat for Minister Mitchell.

After John Robert Boyle resigned to take a judicial position on October 27, 1924, Mitchell became the fifth leader of the Liberal Party of Alberta.
