Charles Winnans Cox (July 7, 1882 - March 28, 1958) was a politician and timber contractor in Ontario, Canada.
He became one of the largest timber contractors in the Thunder Bay region, then branched into general contracting.
[2] Liberal Premier Mitchell Hepburn named him to cabinet as a minister without portfolio in December 1936.
Any chances of remaining a cabinet minister vanished in February 1937 when one of his love affairs went sour, and a 32-year-old teacher threw acid at him, scarring his handsome face and impairing the sight in his left eye.
He ran in the 1950 Ontario Liberal leadership convention, placing sixth with 24 votes.
