Charles Rochussen (Kralingen, 1 August 1814 – Rotterdam 22 September 1894) was a Dutch illustrator and printmaker.

While still a child, Charles showed a talent for drawing; between 1831 and 1834 he produced watercolor studies of birds.

In 1837, he enrolled at the academy in The Hague, where he was taught by Wijnand Nuijen (1813–1839) and, after Nuyen's death, by Anthonie Waldorp (1803–1866).

[1] During his Hague period, which lasted until 1843 (or, according to some sources, 1846), he painted landscapes and beach and village views.

[1] He started painting looser, more along the lines of the upcoming Impressionism movement.
