Charles Walker Raymond (14 January 1842 – 3 May 1913) was a United States Army civil engineer and brigadier general.
Raymond later supervised the design engineering for the National Harbor of Refuge breakwater near the mouth of the Delaware River and the New York Tunnel Extension project for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
As a second-year cadet, he was selected along with his classmates Reuben W. Petrikin and William Krause to serve as aides-de-camp to Major General Darius N. Couch in June and July 1863.
General Couch was supervising the defense of the Susquehanna River Valley and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, during that summer's Gettysburg campaign.
Returning to West Point, he graduated first in his class in June 1865 and was directly commissioned as a first lieutenant in the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
His largest project during the twelve years that he held this position was construction of the National Harbor of Refuge breakwater at Cape Henlopen.
