Charles "Papa Charlie" McCoy (May 26, 1909 – July 26, 1950)[1] was an American Delta blues musician and songwriter.

As a guitarist and mandolin player, he was one of the major blues accompanists of his time.

McCoy moved to Chicago, where he organized two bands, both with his brother Kansas Joe—Papa Charlie's Boys and the Harlem Hamfats—which performed and recorded in the late 1930s.

[1] McCoy's career was cut short by his service with the United States Army during World War II.

Several cover versions of McCoy's composition "Too Long" have been released.
