Frank Lane "Pete" Charton (born December 21, 1942) is an American former Major League Baseball pitcher.

Born in Jackson, Tennessee, he batted left-handed and threw right-handed, stood 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall and weighed 190 pounds (86 kg).

He spent the entire 1964 season on Boston's Major League roster to prevent him from being claimed by another team in the first-year player draft of the time.

In a 25-game MLB career, Charton posted a 0–2 record with 37 strikeouts and a 5.26 ERA in 65.0 innings pitched, including five starts and 14 games finished.

After baseball, he finished college, ultimately receiving his PhD in geology from Michigan State University.
