Charlie Wilcox is a children's novel by Sharon E. McKay about a boy from Newfoundland in World War I.

It is followed by a sequel, Charlie Wilcox's Great War, published in 2003.

Charlie Wilcox's parents want him to go to college rather than become a seal hunter like his father; they believe that his club foot makes him unfit for an active life.

To prove his courage and ability, fourteen-year-old Charlie decides to stow away on a sealing vessel; however, he finds himself instead on a troop ship bound for the war in Europe.

Rather than return, he chooses to become a stretcher bearer at the front where he witnesses the horrors of trench warfare and the Battle of the Somme.
