Charles Storer Storrow (25 March 1809 – 30 April 1904) was a prominent American civil engineer and industrialist.

From age 9 to 15 he attended Collége Royal de Bourbon (now Lycée Condorcet) in Paris, France, where his father had a business.

His thesis was entitled Of the Celestial Motions [2] On the advice of America's leading civil engineer at the time, Loammi Baldwin, he returned to Paris and spent two years (1830-1832) as an auditeur libre at École des Ponts et Chaussées where he studied hydraulics under Gaspard de Prony and applied mechanics under Claude-Louis Navier.

Storrow's book, A Treatise on Water-Works for Conveying and Distributing Supplies of Water; with Tables and Examples,[3] introduced American civil engineers to the mathematical theory of hydraulics and put America hydraulic engineering on a strong scientific basis.

Storrow also authored an extensive report on the Hoosac Tunnel[4] and contributions to Lowell Hydraulic Experiments,[5] a book by his protégé, James Bicheno Francis.
