Sir Charles Lyttelton, 3rd Baronet, of Frankley, in the County of Worcester, MP (1628 – 2 May 1716) was one of the early English Governors of Jamaica, an army officer, and Member of Parliament from the Lyttelton family.

He was made Cupbearer to Charles II in 1650 while in exile and after the Restoration knighted in 1662.

In his brother's lifetime he served as an Army Officer, rising to a brigadier general and serving as governor of Jamaica from 1662 until 1664 and founded the first town of Port Royal, where he summoned the First Legislative Assembly in 1664, and of Harwich in 1667.

He inherited the Baronetcy and the family estates in Frankley, Halesowen, Hagley, and Upper Arley, in Worcestershire, on the death of his brother Sir Henry Lyttelton, 2nd Baronet, in 1693.
