Charles, Count Woeste (26 February 1837 – 5 April 1922), was a Belgian Roman Catholic politician of German descent.

In August 1855 Charles converted from Lutheranism, Prussian aristocracy's religion, to Catholicism, under the influence of his mother and father Delcourt.

Among his classmates were Edmond Picard, Charles Graux, Emile de Mot, Xavier Olin, and Pierre Van Humbeeck.

In 1869, Woeste founded the Verbond van Katholieke Kringen, an early attempt to create a Catholic party.

In Aalst, he and Count Bobbejaan Honoré (1846–1933)[citation needed] opposed the Christian Democratic priest Adolf Daens and his Christene Volkspartij.
